Marcel Rieder depicts an intimate scene: a dinner with friends drawing to a close, lit by the faint glow of a ceiling light. On the left, we recognise the profile of Marcel Rieder himself, engrossed in conversation with Victor Tardieu, whilst his wife, Caroline Luigini, seated at the end of the table, listens attentively to the conversation. In the foreground, Marion Rieder serves coffee to the guests, prolonging this moment of conviviality. Here we find the warm, subdued atmosphere characteristic of Rieder’s works, where soft light and scenes from everyday life convey a deep sense of intimacy.
We would like to thank Ms Alix Turolla, granddaughter of Victor and Caroline Tardieu, for confirming the identities of the people depicted in this painting.
