L'Absinthe (1876)
Edgar Degas | Impressionism | Oil on canvas
Two tired-looking people sit alone together at a café table. Their faces look sad and far away, lost in thought.
Did you know? Degas first called this painting In a Café. The two people were real models posing as sad characters: the actress Ellen Andrée and the artist Marcellin Desboutin!
