Belle Epoque reception in the late 19th century

This late 19th-century painting depicts a typical Belle Époque social banquet scene.
In the foreground, men in suits and women in elegant dresses are gathered together.
In the background, a large mirror takes center stage, reflecting the lively room and extending the scene, adding depth to the composition.
This play of reflections creates a sense of crowd and accentuates the excitement of the evening.
