During the tardily nineteenth century, Parisian cafés were the gathering places of artists and writers and were ideal locations for observing the urban scene. Many Impressionist paintings draw the Café Nouvelle-Athènes on the rue Pigalle, where ii tables were reserved for Édouard Manet and his circle—a grouping that included the painters Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and the writers Charles Baudelaire and Émile Zola.
At offset glance, this fashionably dressed young woman appears to have been captured sitting at a favorite café: the marble tabletop, beer mug, and mag fastened to a wooden bar suggest such a setting, and her heavy vesture and kid gloves indicate that she is at an outdoor table and that the weather is cool. However, the floral groundwork is actually one of Manet'southward paintings and the café a re-creation in his studio.
Adult female Reading is 1 of the almost Impressionist of Manet's images; the quick, free brushstrokes and light colors are feature of his technique late in his career. Painted just a few years before his expiry, this work admirably captures a fleeting moment, the sense of modern life that Manet and his contemporaries sought to correspond.
