Description

This colourful illustration depicts a festive gathering around a dining table set with various foods and drinks, with an aesthetic of the early twentieth century. Several adults are seated around a table laden with plates of seafood, caviar, champagne, and cocktails. Guests are dressed in dinner jackets, hats, and scarves. The scene is set on a yacht or cruise ship deck, with a night sky with stars visible in the background. The illustration is reminiscent of vintage travel posters or magazine advertisements, employing a flat, graphic style with bold colours and defined outlines. Text reading 'PETROSSIAN FONDE à PARIS EN 1920' is displayed at the top of the image.
