"Players In A Brasserie, 1925 Nancy"
Early work by french Paul Rémy, an artist from Nancy, which proves that people didn't just dine in these great brasseries of the Belle Époque, they also played cards, backgammon... this was before the PMU (created in 1930)! The bird's eye view suggests that the artist painted the scene from the brasserie balcony. The attitudes are amusing without being caricatured. In short, a seductive and very rare image from the interwar period.
