10 cents in 1887 is equivalent to approximately $3.37 in 2024, assuming an average annual inflation rate of 2.6%.

I only see a cup of coffee in the painting. Seems about right.

Cool painting.

It says "breakfast", yet it also seems like it's still dark outside.
The faces do feel like it's 5am or something, who knows if they've even slept yet.
