The picture shows the tavern La Guingette, one of the typical meeting places in Montmartre, which at that time was more like a village. However, the hustle and bustle of Sundays in Montmartre was of no interest to van Gogh, only the seats under the pergola are occupied in the tavern. The brushwork is already very free, released from its traditional task of delineating the image. The colours, however, are confined to the earthy, dark tones that are reminiscent of vanGogh's early work. ## Related artworks - [A Cottage on the Heath and "The Protestant Barn"]() - [A Lane in the Public Garden at Arles]() - [A Meadow in the Mountains: Le Mas de Saint-Paul]() - [A Pair of Leather Clogs]() - [A Pair of Shoes]() - [A Pair of Shoes]() - [A Workman's Meal-Break]() - [Agostina Segatori in the Café du Tambourin]() - [Almond Tree in Blossom]() - [Apricot Trees in Blossom]() - [At Eternity's Gate \("Worn Out"\)]() - [Avenue of Plane Trees near Arles Station]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
