Metropolitan Opera

A black and white photograph capturing a sophisticated social gathering. In the foreground, a woman adorned with a tiara and a bejeweled dress is sipping from a glass, seemingly lost in thought. Surrounding her are elegantly dressed men and women in formal attire, including tuxedos and evening gowns, engaged in conversation or contemplation. The atmosphere suggests a high-society event from a bygone era.
