About this object

Painting shows a scene with five figures. There is a young man in a white tie and dark suit in the center. He is seated at the table set with a white table cloth. At the left are three young women, one in a decollette pink dress holding a bottle and offering him a glass of wine, another with black hair carrying a tray with a coffee pot, and the third is smoking a cigarette. Above to the left is a head with large black wings. At the right foreground is a young man seen fron the back. He is nude to the waist, and is pointing to a rosy dream city in the distance which is seen out of the window.
