Dans un cabinet de la maison d'or

National Gallery of Art

The image consists of two sketches. In the upper sketch, three individuals are shown from the waist up around a table. Two are toasting with champagne glasses, while the third person also holds a glass. The first man has curly dark hair and a beard, the woman has styled curly hair, and the other man has his hair pulled back. They are dressed in formal attire. There are empty glasses and a bottle on the table. The background features a cozy, enclosed space with patterned wallpaper. In the lower sketch, an elderly man is depicted sitting in a chair with a blanket, wearing a nightcap. He holds a cup and is surrounded by a table with a teapot and a dish. The setting is simple, with minimalistic furniture.
