"Gezelschappen aan tafel" is a pencil drawing by Herman Frederik Carel ten Kate, a Dutch artist known for his genre paintings and drawings. Created between 1847 and 1865, the work captures scenes of daily life, depicting groups of people gathered around tables. The drawing is composed of four individual scenes, each depicting a different group engaged in various activities. The delicate lines and subtle shading of the drawing create a sense of realism, while the intimate portrayal of everyday moments provides a glimpse into 19th-century Dutch society. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
