Singer at the Café-Concert is a 1888 by Émile Bernard, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman singing on a stage, surrounded by people in the audience. The singer is wearing a dark dress and has her arms raised. The background is dark, with some light coming from the right side. The singer's face is not clearly visible, but her body language conveys a sense of energy and passion. The audience is seated and watching her, some with their heads tilted upwards. The painting's use of dark colors and dramatic lighting creates a sense of intimacy and focus on the singer.
