What is the story behind this piece? How old is it? Who created it? Why? Is it supposed to be depicting anyone in particular?
(x-post from /r/monkslookingatbeer)
So yeah, it's old, but it's not old. It is in fact from 1890, it's called "Le dejeuner interrompu" (the interrupted lunch), it's French and I don't know a whole lot more about it except that someone in my department printed out a copy and hung it above the shared printer about a year ago.
Other googled facts:
It was one of five similar pieces.
The artist is unknown.
If there is any context other than the obvious (biting political satire seems unlikely), I don't know what it is.
It is apparently worth 1500$.
So there's probably more than anyone really needs to know.
I'm taking the stupid thing down. Tired of looking at it. But I did subscribe to /r/monkslookingatbeer because who could resist?
