The Fatted Calf

James Jacques Joseph Tissot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of people seated at a table outdoors under a shaded canopy. One figure with his back to the viewer is turned towards another person kneeling outside the pavilion. The kneeling person has short hair, a moustache, and is looking up towards the table. At the table, a man with a moustache is holding a carving knife and a fork. Three other figures are seated at the table, one facing directly towards the viewer. A dog is resting beside the table, looking towards the individuals. The environment includes trees with dense foliage and a body of water in the background.
