A lively nineteenth-century genre scene by Belgian artist Théodore Gérard (1829–1895) depicting a young man in animated conversation with a barmaid. Reclining casually in his chair with one leg crossed, the gentleman gestures expressively whilst holding a folded letter. The young woman listens attentively. The work is signed to the lower right and is well presented in an ornate gilt frame. On canvas on stretchers.
