At Mouquin’s
1905
Step into the bustling nightlife of early 1900s New York with this lively scene from the famous Mouquin's restaurant. The woman in the dazzling blue gown and enormous feathered hat is actually the owner's wife, posing alongside her husband in his dapper tuxedo and red bow tie. Glackens, a key member of the Ashcan School, used loose, energetic brushstrokes to capture the vibrant, slightly chaotic atmosphere of city dining, moving away from stiff, formal portraits to show real people enjoying a night out.
