Highly detailed, realistic Romantic oil painting style. A young man named Théodore lies in an elegant 19th-century French bed, wearing period-accurate nightclothes (white shirt, slightly open collar). He holds a broken fragment of a brass coffee pot in his hand, looking at it with a mix of sadness and wonder. Around him, a few friends in early 19th-century attire have just entered the room, surprised and concerned, some with candles in hand casting warm light. The room has carved wooden furniture, thick blankets, and an old table where the rest of the broken coffee pot lies. The atmosphere is mysterious, melancholic, and dreamlike, with dramatic realistic lighting, warm brown and golden tones, soft painterly texture, and no cartoonish exaggeration. See more
