Painting of about ten well-dressed men in top hats and frock coats gathered on a columned terrace with a sofa, chairs, and a dog.

Le Cercle de la rue Royale

A group of elegantly dressed men in dark suits and top hats gathers on a colonnaded terrace beside a hedge and a marble-tiled floor. Some sit on upholstered chairs and a sofa, others stand, while a dog lies near a chessboard at left. The painting's oil technique renders the crisp tailoring and sunlit architecture with fine detail.
