I adore this painting; in fact, it is my favourite by Manet. A beautifully framed copy hangs in my dining room.
Why post it today?
The cold, the cold!
It’s far below zero–the chilliest temperature of the season. Since this painting makes me feel happy, content, and warm, I thought you might enjoy it, too.

My connection is still atrocious but this painting by Manet, posted by Maedaz at A Small Press Life, is immensely cheering!
Take care and keep laughing!

I enjoy looking at it every time I walk through the dining room, on my way to the kitchen. It makes me happy. I am glad it made you smile, so you are most welcome. 😉

It’s definitely my fave of his. I’ve loved it since I was a little girl. (We are in the midst of our third snowstorm this week. Oh joy!)
