The scene unfolds in a lively pub, the air buzzing with the merriment of a grand 40th birthday celebration. The focal point is a raised stage on the left side, where an eccentric band dressed in a mix of vintage and steampunk attire joyously plays their instruments. The drummer's set is made from repurposed barrels and tin cans, while the saxophonist's instrument swirls like something out of a Maurice Sendak dreamscape. Scattered throughout the pub are tables and chairs, each occupied by partygoers laughing and raising their glasses in a toast.

To the right, a colossal cake towers over a table, its tiers adorned with miniature figurines resembling the recipients, Chiel, Leon, and Robbert, in quirky outfits of their own. Above the cake, a banner stretches across the ceiling, brightly painted with the words "Happy 40th Birthday Chiel, Leon & Robbert" in a playful Quentin Blake-inspired script.

The walls of the pub are decorated with vintage posters, while a warm, ambient glow emanates from old-fashioned lanterns hanging from the ceiling beams. Behind the bar, the bartender, with an Edward Gorey-esque mustache, juggles bottles while simultaneously pouring drinks, to the delight of the crowd.

On the far wall, a large window offers a glimpse of the night sky, where stars spell out "Chiel, Leon & Robbert" in an ethereal script reminiscent of Maxfield Parrish's skies. The patrons, a diverse and colorful mix of characters reminiscent of an Arthur Rackham illustration, are all captured in the midst of revelry, creating a timeless and whimsical celebration that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of a joyous 40th birthday bash.
