A 1970s dinner party - one of the women in gown shares a secret with us - perhaps about the men in dinner jackets A wonderful painting on a large scale of a dinner party. This narrative painting recalls the 18th and 19th century masters formal works where by they painted portraits in defined settings. I assume that the enigmatic smile on the red headed guest is meant to mean something at least to the artist.
