Henri-Gabriel Ibels

National Gallery of Art

The painting depicts individuals seated in a cafe or restaurant setting. Some men are reading newspapers at booths. The interior has red seating and yellow walls. There are pitchers and glasses on a table. A program for theatrical or musical events is on the right listing three performances and names of characters and performers. The style is similar to Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's lively scenes of Parisian nightlife.
