About this work

This poster shows a crowded café scene with people leaning over a table. Two men in the front are looking at a newspaper, while others sit or stand around. The background has a blurry view of a street or market outside. Text at the top reads *L’Escarmouche*, and the bottom lists names like Toulouse-Lautrec and Vuillard. The artist signed it as *H.G. Ibels*, and the price is marked as 20 centimes. The style is loose and sketchy, with bold colors and quick brushstrokes. Look up Henri Gabriel Ibels (French, 1867–1936) next.
