In this lively painting of the Varscona Hotel, Toti brings to life the elegance of a grand gathering, reminiscent of a scene from another era. Despite the grandeur, this is not the ballroom of the Titanic, but rather the sophisticated lobby of Phil and Jayne Milroy's flagship hotel on Whyte Avenue. The black-tie affair is filled with animated conversations, laughter, and the clinking of champagne glasses, all set in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Among the guests, Toti herself can be spotted, camera in hand, capturing the moment from the left side of the scene.
