Prepared in several drawings (see Die Sammlung der Alberto Giacometti-Stiftung, edited by Christian Klemm (Zurich 1990), p. 76 f.), Giacometti's main work, the composition, unites the artist's family at the table in the parlor in the evening. Annetta sits in the middle; the group of children is doubled: Ottilia and the long-time maid appear once each frontally and in profile on the left and right; Diego and Bruno can be seen in the lower corners from behind and next to the mother from the front; Alberto dominates the foreground, the painting on the wall shows his face.
