This engraving, titled 'Rests of the Feast' and dated 1885, presents a whimsical and intriguing scene of a young boy enthusiastically drinking champagne from a grand, ornate trough filled with the remnants of a lavish feast. The interior setting is adorned with rich textures and colors, showcasing the opulence and elegance of the aristocracy during the late 19th century. The boy, dressed in a pristine white shirt and shorts, appears to be in the midst of a moment of pure joy and indulgence, his expression one of delight and excitement. Surrounding him are the remains of the feast - empty plates, discarded cutlery, and spilled wine - adding to the sense of merriment and celebration. The engraving, with its vertical and upright composition, is expertly executed in black and white, highlighting the intricate details of the scene and the textures of the various elements. The use of contrasting shades adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a stunning work of art that transports us back in time. The presence of the champagne, a symbol of luxury and celebration, adds an air of sophistication and excitement to the scene. The boy's childlike enthusiasm and the remnants of the feast serve as a reminder of the fleeting nature of such moments of indulgence and the passage of time. This engraving is a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of the aristocracy and the traditions and customs of the time.
