Chromogenic print of six women standing around a decorated dining table

Object Details

Description
A color photograph of six (6) women posing behind a formally set banquet table in what appears to be a residential dining room. Five (5) of the women are wearing white clothing, while the third woman from the right is wearing a plum-colored outfit. On the table is a floral centerpiece, two (2) candleabras with lit candles, and various serving dishes of food, some of which are decorated with rabbit figurines. The tablecloth is pink with white trim and pink and white flowers, and there is a sheet of plastic between the tablecloth and the items on the table. Above the table there is a chandler. There is a sideboard visible at the far proper right of the photograph, with a large mirror hanging above.
