EDITORS COMMENTS
. This caricature, created by Nikolai Leontyevich Benois in the mid-19th century, offers a whimsical glimpse into the society life of renowned architect Constantin Thon. The artwork, rendered with pen, brush, watercolor, ink, and white color on paper, showcases Benois' exceptional talent for satirical cartoons. In this scene set within the opulent surroundings of Thon's residence, we are transported to an evening filled with lively conversation and animated gestures. The artist skillfully captures the essence of each character present – from the stoutness of some individuals to their expressive facial features.

Preserved at Moscow's State Tretyakov Gallery today, this remarkable
