Henri-Gabriel Ibels’ *Paulus, from Le Café-Concert* (1893) is a black and white lithograph depicting a man in a tuxedo gesturing towards his ear. The figure is set against a plain background, suggesting the stage of a café-concert. The artwork is a portrait of Paulus, a performer who was likely popular in Parisian entertainment at the time. The simplified lines and bold black and white contrast are characteristic of Ibels’ artistic style. The piece is currently in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
