Can we talk about the radio on the right side of the painting and the fact that radio wasn't invented until 1896??

[@andobranco8072]

What radio?

[@stennsonn]

@@andobranco8072 To the right, closer to the top and behind the woman and the man. There are 3 girls sitting on the ground in front of what appears to be a larger wooden radio. I can't find any information about it online.
