English: The picture shows a gathering of distinguished guests in the drawing-room of French hostess Marie-Thérèse Rodet Geoffrin (1699-1777) who is seated on the right. Artistic license has been taken, both in terms of the number of attendees, and who could have attended in 1755. At least one is depicted much younger than he would have been in 1755, had he lived that long.
