Sid at Bridal Dinner
Image
Sid caught underneath a table during a bridal dinner. Sid is looking out from under a tablecloth draped over his neck after trays of dishes crashed to the ground. He has a cigar in his mouth, while peering out over the floor covered in spilled cream and broken tea cups and saucers. In the background are the hands and legs of another man standing near the table.
