Edgar Degas was fascinated by the popular café-concerts of Paris, informal venues where singers and performers entertained audiences over food and drink, and he depicted both performers and audience with equal interest. "Café-Concert (The Spectators)" turns attention to the crowd itself, using the artificial gaslight and cropped, asymmetrical compositions borrowed from Japanese prints and photography to capture the informal, modern spectacle of Parisian nightlife. These café-concert works are central to Degas's broader project of documenting the entertainments of contemporary Paris.
Printed edge to edge on a soft, durable woven area rug with a comfortable, non-slip feel.

It came packed so well that opening it took ten minutes. Worth every dollar and then some.
This is genuinely one of the nicest things we own now. The colors in Café-Concert are richer than any version I found online. The packing was almost comical in how careful it was. It is the best thing in the study now.
This made the whole team smile. Thank you for taking the time, and enjoy it.
The condition it arrived in tells me somebody packs these by hand. The hand of Degas is visible in Café-Concert in a way I did not expect at this price. The doorman held it for two days and it came through fine. I am pleased with how this turned out. 🙂
The reproduction quality is the best I have seen anywhere near this price. It has made me appreciate Café-Concert more than I already did.
I have bought a lot of art online and this is the first time it looked exactly like the listing. Owning Café-Concert means more to me than generic art ever could, and Degas is part of that. Our summers are so humid that I was nervous about ordering anything at all, and it has held up perfectly. I would order this again tomorrow.
