This painting was painted by Edouard Monet called A Bar at the Folies-Bergere. It was painted in 1882 and it was oil on canvas. It is about 3 X 4 feet and found in Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery, London. The setting of the painting is in a Parisian Cafe. This painting reminds of some of the painting that were analyzed in previous chapter. The artist is shown in the canvas through a use of a mirror. It is a debate whether the guy shown in the mirror, at the upper right corner, is artist himself or a customer. The facial expressions of the barmaid seems disinterested and lost in her own world. She is quite detached from the world surrounding her. The background is blurred and just like Impressionism style the strokes are not refined and the painting does not show any enhancement. This style in the painting brings focus on the barmaid due to the unclear background.
