"Two couples proffer a hearty toast while a respectful waiter
hovers nearby, prepared to satisfy their every dining and drinking
desire. A vivacious scene to advertise an all-night restaurant"
(Rennert, PAI-XXXI, 394)
"The achievement of Cheret was to create a world of explosive
happiness, and to paste it on the walls of Paris. As a painter he
will be remembered for what Huysmans calls his 'spirit of nervous
gaiety', as a lithographer for his superb technique, and as a poster
artist for being the ancestor of all modern advertising." (Abdy
p.36)
