Absinthe drinkers 1908

Jean Béraud's "Absinthe Drinkers" is a painting depicting a scene of everyday life in Paris, 1908. The painting shows a man and woman seated at a table in a bar, with a bottle of absinthe and two glasses in front of them. The woman sits with her head resting on her hand, seemingly lost in thought, while the man pours himself a drink. The painting's realism and attention to detail are characteristic of Béraud's style, known for capturing the social life and atmosphere of Paris. It highlights the popular yet controversial beverage of the time, absinthe, often associated with the bohemian and artistic communities. The painting is a testament to Béraud's keen observation of his surroundings and his ability to capture the spirit of his time.
