Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 19.9 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 22.3 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 32.6 × 35.4 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Manet's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 78 × 84 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Oskar Reinhart Museum, Winterthur, Switzerland. Full size guide.

About the Painting

The Impressionist group, including Edgar Degas, Renoir, and Manet, expanded their subject matter beyond sunlit outdoor scenes to include depictions of city life in cafés, boulevards, and theatres. In the late 1870s, Manet delved into painting numerous café scenes.

While the style and brushwork exhibit Impressionist characteristics, Manet deviates from his usual approach by reverting to a darker palette dominated by shades of grey, black, and white. The presence of color is limited to the beer and the matchstick holder on the left side, along with a splash of red behind the auburn-haired waitress on the right.

Unusually, there is a lack of tension among the figures depicted in the crowded café. Two individuals are shown leaning in close, enjoying their drinks. The composition, featuring partially cropped figures and a truncated table, displays the influence of photography, possibly influenced by Manet's friendship with Degas. Their shared subject matter occasionally created tensions between them. The diagonal placement of the table cutting across the composition also evokes compositions by Degas, notably "The Tub" from 1886. While Degas often explored different viewpoints, altering the elevation, Manet rarely did so. As customary, Manet demonstrates an interest in the small, still-life objects that infuse vitality into the composition.
