Le dejeuner anglais

Gérard Vidal after Nicolas Lavreince

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three individuals gathered around a small round table. One man is sitting with his back turned, reading a document or newspaper, while a woman stands beside him, pouring or serving from a teapot. Another woman is seated, engaging with a second woman. The seated woman wears a long dress with delicate ruffles and holds a piece of jewelry, possibly a ring. The man has an 18th-century hairstyle tied with a ribbon. A dog stands near the seated woman. The room is lavishly decorated with ornate wall paneling, a mantelpiece featuring a large clock and decorative items, and a luxurious curtain in the background.
