Man en vrouw zitten aan een tafel in een café 1900

This poster, *Man en vrouw zitten aan een tafel in een café* (1900) by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, is a depiction of a scene from Émile Zola's *L'Assommoir*. A young couple sits at a table in a Parisian café, a bottle of wine and two glasses of absinthe between them. The poster advertises the stage adaptation of *L'Assommoir*, which premiered in 1900, highlighting the performers and a list of scenes. This poster is an example of *Art Nouveau* style, with its flowing lines and elegant typography. Steinlen's distinctive style is recognizable in the expressive faces of the couple and the evocative setting of the café.
