The image showcases an opulent dining hall adorned with exquisite furnishings and elegant decor. At the center of attention sits King Leopold II of Belgium, regally presiding over this prestigious gathering. His commanding presence is accentuated by his prominent position in a lavishly upholstered chair. Surrounding him are other distinguished guests, each seated on their own ornate single chairs. The room exudes an air of sophistication and refinement, with its richly decorated walls and meticulously arranged tables set for a sumptuous feast. This visual spectacle captures not only the splendor of royal banquets but also highlights the importance placed on literature and intellectual pursuits during this era.
