On the right a Frenchman (?), throwing his right leg forward with pointed toe and looking round for admiration, holds bottle in one hand, glass in the other; the cork flies up, and the champagne, curving upwards, cascades into the glass, splashing but not foamingTitle from caption below image.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.
