At Mouquin's

1905

William Glackens here portrayed members of his circle at a New York restaurant. The proprietor’s wife shares a drink with a wealthy playboy and restaurateur, while the artist’s wife and an art critic are reflected in the mirror. By combining portraiture and everyday scenes, Glackens helped usher in a mode of painting suited to the uncertainties and new social activities of modern urban life.
