The Bistro by Félix Vallotton depicts a crowded room with people gathered around, some standing and some sitting. The room is dimly lit and appears to be a bar or restaurant interior. There are bottles on shelves in the background. In the foreground, a man in a blue jacket has his right arm raised. To his left, a man in a brown jacket and another man with a white beard are visible. On the left side, a man in a white coat is partially visible. Behind the crowd, two waiters in black jackets and white aprons are visible. The atmosphere appears lively. The color palette is muted. The style is post-impressionist. The composition is dense with figures.
