This painting depicts an unconventional young woman on the background of a fashionable café.
This picture belongs to Manet's "Naturalist" series of paintings. He depicts a prostitute, lost in melancholy daydreams. She neither lights her cigarette nor touches her brandy-soaked plum. This painting was the first of Manet's many café scenes, which followed by At the Café, the Corner of a Café-Concert, and his absolute masterpiece, the Bar in the Folies-Bergère.
