Description
Portrait by Belgian artist Henri Thomas (1878-1972), showing a worldly, bare-shouldered young woman smoking a cigarette in an ornate fin-de-siecle restaurant. The exact date of the painting is not known, but judging by the hairstyle and make-up, I would say circa 1920. Thomas paintings tended to focus on the seamier side of life, notably night-time scenes featuring elegant but louche-looking women lounging in fin-de-siecle cafes and bars around Brussels. You can still find places like this the city, looking like they would have done a hundred years ago, except a little more care-worn (there's one just by the Bourse that is well worth checking out).
