The artwork titled “The model for the ‘Bar at the Folies-Bergère'” was created by Edouard Manet in 1881, in France. Rendered in oil on canvas, this piece is associated with the Impressionism movement and falls under the genre of portraiture.
In the artwork, a woman is depicted in profile, against a soft, blue background. She wears a dark, fashionable hat adorned with feathers, complementing her light brown hair that cascades in loose waves over her shoulder. Her attire appears to be dark and elegant, perhaps indicative of the period’s style. The woman’s expression is calm and introspective, captured in a moment of serene contemplation. The blending of colors and light plays a significant role in heightening the realistic yet impressionist quality of the portrait, characteristic of Manet’s oeuvre.
