An Afternoon Idyll
Auguste Toulmouche
The artist spent the autumn of 1877 in the United States, and this is his most famous study of Americans. Traditionally, its alternate title has been "Thanksgiving Day Languor," and in some parts of America, "Too Much Pie."*
*I may have fabricated all or part of this paragraph.
What a Thanksgiving party- a doozy!
Wine and tryptophan made them feel woozy.
Now their dresses look pretty
As they nap on the settee
Those post-Bacchanalian floozies .
