The artwork titled “At the Café-Concert” was created circa 1898 by the artist Edouard Vuillard in Paris, France. It is painted using a combination of watercolor and gouache and belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 20 by 14 centimeters, and it is categorized under the portrait genre. This piece is currently housed in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, France.
The artwork depicts a scene from a café-concert, rendered in a stylized and somewhat abstract manner. A central figure, whose face is obscured by a hat and the angle of view, is the focal point. The figure is adorned in an intricately patterned garment, predominantly in shades of white and purple, which contrasts with the darker, more earthy tones of the background. The use of watercolor and gouache gives the piece a textured, layered appearance, contributing to the richness of the overall composition. Set in a social environment, this piece captures the bustling yet intimate ambiance of a Parisian café-concert during the turn of the century.
