The Waiter 

This painting, titled "The Waiter", by Robert Henri, is a striking example of his signature style. Henri, a prominent figure in the Ashcan School movement, focused on capturing everyday scenes and individuals in a realistic manner. The waiter, depicted in a dark setting, holds a tray laden with glasses and bottles, his stoic expression and downcast gaze hinting at the weariness of his daily work. Henri's masterful brushstrokes, evident in the loose, textured application of paint, contribute to the painting's raw and unidealized depiction of a working-class figure.
