In this illustration, a group of gentlemen in diverse suit styles gather for a meal that defies its setting. The artist uses flat color designs and a stylized approach to render the scene, where the green expanse of a ping pong table serves as the foundation for a gourmet dining experience. The composition plays with depth and dimensionality, positioning the net as a strange centerpiece that divides the guests while they engage in the polite motions of a banquet.

There is a subtle comedy in the contrast between the serious, wooden furniture and the athletic equipment. By framing a serene scene within such an unexpected context, van der Does invites a look at layered symbolism—perhaps a commentary on the competitive nature of social climbing or the games played behind closed doors. The drawing captures a moment where the rules of the court and the rules of the table collide in a quiet, colorful display of wit.
