Café table with absinth 1887

Vincent van Gogh's "Café Table with Absinthe" (1887) depicts a simple still life of a glass of absinthe and a water carafe on a cafe table. The painting, characteristic of van Gogh's style, is characterized by bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The scene is viewed from a slightly elevated angle, with a window behind the table offering a glimpse of the bustling street outside. The composition, with its focus on the simple objects, evokes a sense of solitude and contemplation, reflecting the artist's personal struggles and the social anxieties of late 19th-century Paris.
