About the piece
Painted by Edgar Degas in 1875, 'L'Absinthe' is a landmark of Impressionist realism. The work captures a moment of quiet detachment between two figures at the Café de la Nouvelle Athènes, using a daring, off-center composition and a muted palette of grays and earthy browns to evoke a sense of modern loneliness.
