The work ‘At a Bar in Paris’ displays the influence of French modernism and that of the Nabis, particularly in the division of space with such modern perception, and the colour combination. This painting depicts a simple, almost bare scene: the barman stands behind his counter, while two elegantly attired women are perched on stools. Their almost featureless faces are turned toward the viewer. Vyzantios chose a dark, muted palette, demonstrating his mastery of lighting and colour.
