About the piece

Painted in 1872, 'A Corner of the Table' is one of Henri Fantin-Latour's celebrated group portraits, featuring notable Parnassian poets including Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud. The work masterfully balances the dignity of formal portraiture with a quiet, atmospheric domesticity, characterized by deep tonal values and a refined still life in the foreground.
