About the piece
Dating to approximately 1910, this work by Maxime Dethomas is a quintessential example of French modernism. Dethomas, a contemporary of Toulouse-Lautrec, uses strong graphic outlines and a refined palette of terracotta and deep charcoal to depict a moment of urban leisure. The composition balances the weight of the figure's dark dress with the airy, neutral background of the cafe setting.
