The
National Gallery archives hold a description of the subjects and the event
depicted in a painting by the painter Ivan Žabota (1877–1939). Dr. Davorin
Senjor, one of the subjects, handed it to the Gallery in 1951.
The scene
in the painting is from Senjor’s student room in Prague, where he received three
guests on the occasion of St Martin’s feastday on 11 November 1905. Ivan Žabota
is not in the picture, but we see his friend and painter Peter Žmitek, who is
making tea in the background, and the lawyer Stanko Svetek, who is looking
towards us while having a glass of wine. Dr. Davorin Senjor has his back to us.
