The Bakery (La patiserie)

Édouard Vuillard, 1899

This is a painting of a café scene with tables and chairs under striped awnings. The image depicts an abstracted outdoor café or restaurant setting, where several tables are placed under wide striped awnings. The word "TISSERIE" is visible. The composition features bold colors like red, green, and yellow, against a more muted background. There is a play of abstract forms and colors that suggest chairs and possibly objects like vases or lamps on the tables. The style conveys a vibrant, lively setting typical of a café.
