Hebe by Charles Auguste Émile Durand 19th C. CE. Lille Palace of Fine Arts.

"Mousa (Muse), I will sing for the little maid . . ((lacuna)) once when Hera was celebrating the feast of the seventh day of her daughter's birth [Hebe], the Gods sitting on Olympos (Olympus) quarrelled, who would honour the child with the most beautiful gift . . ((lacuna)) Tritonis [Athena] brought many toys of cunning workmanship shrewdly carved, and many came from the guardian of the Apian Isthmos (Isthmus) [Poseidon], toys more precious than gold. The Gods in amicable rivalry vied with one another in offering gifts. But you, Delian Apollon . . you said the following ‘Phoibos (Phoebus), you must try your skillful art [music] which will surpass the masterpieces of Hephaistos (Hephaestus).’" -Callimachus, Iambi Fragment 202 (trans. Trypanis) (Greek poet C3rd B.C.)

MWW Artwork of the Day (5/19/22) Carolus-Duran (French, 1837–1917) Merrymakers (1870) Oil on canvas, 90.2 x 139.7 cm. The Detroit Institute of Arts

Carolus-Duran -- his full name was actually Charles Auguste Émile Durand -- is remembered as one of the most sought after portrait painters of his generation.   In this realistic rendition of a humorous scene at a cafe, we can see four well-dressed people -– a woman laughing with her hand on her chest on whose lap is sitting a toddler delighted by the game being played on the table by the figure on the left who we see in profile, and a girl leaning in to see the expression of delight on the toddler’s face. The game being played is the fooling of the bird on the table, painted in bright green, with a ‘bird’ of folded paper. The mood of the scene is one of gaiety and is painted in a straight-forward Realism that does not admit of irony. Fine details are present such as the knife overhanging the table which is in tension with the limits of the picture space, and the glass of wine.
