About the piece
Commissioned for the King's dining room at Versailles, Jean-François de Troy’s 1735 painting is a celebratory depiction of aristocratic leisure. The work meticulously captures the excitement of the feast, from the popping of champagne corks—notably one of the first depictions of sparkling wine in art—to the focused revelry of the guests within a magnificent Rococo hall.
