Les Maitres de L'Affiche: Pl. 103 Café Reche

Jules-Alexandre Grün was a French painter and printmaker active in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Working primarily in oil and pastel, he specialized in intimate domestic interiors and portraits that captured the leisure and social life of the Parisian bourgeoisie. His compositions combined precise draftsmanship with soft tonality, depicting figures absorbed in reading, conversation, or quiet reflection.
