'Au Café ' (Café Concert )Edouard Manet ( French 1832 - 1883) Oil on canvas , circa 1878 . The Walters Art Gallery , Baltimore , Maryland ...' Au Café ' was inspired by Degas painting L'Absinthe , 1876 ( see next posting ) The same models appear in both , although in Manet's painting they appear a little older.
