Félix Vallotton (Swiss French, 1865–1925)

Félix Vallotton

The hustle and bustle of eager customers in a crowded bistro is captured in this painting. One can almost hear the loud chatter and shouts of orders being called to the busy servers behind the countertop. All in jackets, the men by the bar have rosy cheeks and noses, perhaps from the cold outdoors contrasting the warmth of their drinks.

A horizontally oriented oil painting with thick brushstrokes depicts a crowded bar interior. In the background, three men with light skin tones in dark jackets stand behind a counter with bottles. In the foreground, a man with a light skin tone in a brown jacket tilts his head back to drink. Beside him, a person in blue clothing faces away with an arm raised. Other figures with light skin tones drink and gesture throughout.
