After Holbein

by Edith Wharton

Overview

A pair of elderly New York socialites, Anson Warley and Evelina Jasper, reveal the tragedy of the decay that comes with old age. Believing that they are sharing an extravagant meal at a busy dinner party, Anson and Evelina relive a night from their youth in the now-empty dining room at Jasper’s once-opulent home.
