Study for "Bar at the Folies-Bergere" 1882

This study for "Bar at the Folies-Bergere" by Edouard Manet, painted in 1882, depicts a barmaid in a Parisian cabaret. It is a preparatory work for Manet's iconic painting, "Bar at the Folies-Bergere", and features a similar composition, showcasing the barmaid and the bustling crowd behind her. This study, housed at the Courtauld Gallery in London, is a smaller version of the final work, measuring only 47 x 56 cm, and offers a glimpse into the artist's working process.
