This is a Pastiche of a cropped detail of Edouard Manet's famous painting of the barmaid behind the bar at the Folies Begere. I have imitated some of the features in the painting but to avoid controversy I have deliberately omitted her reflection and presented the entire picture as though it were a scene from the opera or the ballet during the interval. (Sans Mirror!) Manet's original painting, ( which hangs in the Courtauld Institute in London) has always been the subject of much discussion regarding the position and persepctive of the barmaid's reflection and of the man she seems to be serving. The face I have painted is that of a local female bar tender here in Provence instead of Suzon who worked behind the bar at the Foilies Begere in the early 1880s!!
