A Bar at the Folies-Bergère

What you see

A barmaid with a blond fringe stands at the center, facing us, her hands resting on the marble counter. She wears a dark lace-trimmed bodice with a spray of flowers at the neckline. Behind her opens a vast hall, with a balcony packed with people and glowing chandeliers. On the right, a woman with the same hairstyle, seen from behind, talks to a man in a top hat.

The blacks of her dress stand out against the silvery grays of the background, where the crowd is made of quick dabs. In the foreground, champagne bottles, oranges in a glass bowl and two roses in a glass all gleam. Look in the upper left corner for a pair of feet in green boots on a trapeze.
