Hilleström portrayed a variety of social settings. This work shows scenes from the more prosperous circles of Gustavian society. The painting shows a typical period drawing-room in the home of Elis Schröderheim and  Anna Charlotta von Stapelmohr on Nybrogatan in Stockholm. Both were friends of the songwriter Carl Michael Bellman.
