The painting showed just how the rich lived back in the Gilded age despite the economic struggles in many big cities at the time. So, as you can tell

Art in general is a form of expression. Individuals use art to express emotions, passion, or make a statement. Society can have an impact on how an artist chooses to express his or her sentiments.
