About the piece
This 1908 oil painting by Jean Béraud captures the sophisticated atmosphere of a Parisian 'cercle' or private club. Men in formal attire and top hats are illuminated by the soft glow of green-shaded lamps, creating a moody and intimate setting that exemplifies the artist's mastery of Belle Époque social life.
