At the Cafe-Concert 1879

"At the Cafe-Concert" (1879) by Édouard Manet depicts a scene of Parisian nightlife, capturing the atmosphere of a cafe concert. The painting is characterized by Manet's loose brushstrokes and vibrant use of color, creating a sense of movement and energy. It shows a group of patrons, including a man in a top hat, seated at a table, while a woman in a low-cut dress holds a glass of wine. This work is a prime example of Manet's transition towards Impressionism.
