The Moscow Tavern (Le Cabaret de Moskou)

Jean Baptiste Le Prince

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sepia-toned drawing of a rustic scene. A small wooden structure with a pointed roof sits atop a raised platform. A set of stairs leads down to a dirt path. Several people are gathered around the base of the structure and on the stairs, some sitting and others standing. To the left of the stairs, a group of people sit and lie on the ground near stacked barrels and other objects. In the background, a low wall with towers stretches across the image. A cityscape with a church steeple is visible on the right. Trees are scattered throughout the scene. The sky above appears hazy. The drawing is framed by a thin black line. The words "Le Cabaret de Moskou" are written in cursive at the bottom.
