About this work

In this scene, a couple of visitors take refreshment at one of Baden Baden's outdoor cafes while a small knot of men chat nearby. The drawing demonstrates Whistler's early interest in contemporary leisure activities, a dominant theme in the work of French modernists of his generation.
