"Gezelschap voor het diner en na souper" (Company Before Dinner and After Supper) is a hand-colored etching by George Cruikshank, a prolific English artist, published in 1809. The artwork portrays two scenes of social gatherings, one "half an hour before dinner" and the other "half an hour after supper." Cruikshank's caricature style highlights the absurdity of social situations and the humorous aspects of human behavior, making the artwork a satirical commentary on 19th-century English social life.
