About the piece

Created around 1900 by Peruvian artist Carlos Baca-Flor, this oil study captures the evocative atmosphere of a Parisian cabaret. The work is characterized by a heavy impasto technique and a bold chiaroscuro effect, where the vibrant golden glow of the stage light contrasts sharply with the deep, moody shadows of the orchestra pit.
