The banquet scene, of Near Eastern origin, was used for Classical funerary reliefs and also as votive offerings to gods. Here, the deceased male reclines at his funerary banquet accompanied by his wife and family. The large vessel holds wine; on the table are an incense burner, cakes, and fruits. Banquet reliefs are important because they illustrate both the domestic setting and the traditions of the ritual funerary meal. As in most grave sculpture of this period, the figures are not actual portraits, but instead represent generalized types.

After being expelled from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Whistler made his way to Europe, where he pursued the life of the artist-bohemian, first in Paris, and then in London. Whistler was a pioneer in appreciating the effects of Japanese prints, and his art is characterized by an Asian subtlety and delicacy. Whistler signed his work with a monogram representing a butterfly, which appears just below the hand of the model in this drawing.
