A theatrical female figure occupies the centre of a crowded cabaret interior. Her dark coiffure, arched eyes and composed expression separate her from the surrounding women, whose faces and costumes dissolve into loosely brushed passages of turquoise, burgundy, ochre and rose. The subject is closely aligned with Raphael De Buck's recognised interest in courtesans, dancers, barmaids and women observed within social or theatrical settings. Signed at the lower right.
