Un caboulet à montmartre (A Dive at Montmartre)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows four individuals. Two people are seated at a table in the foreground with their upper bodies visible. They wear hats and have curly hair. Another person stands to the left, only partially visible in a coat with pronounced collars. The fourth figure stands in the background with hair pulled back, dressed simply. The setting is suggested by vertical lines, and there is a small cup or bowl on the table. The image has a sketch-like quality with freeform line work.
