Jean Béraud - Brasserie d'Etudiants (Student Restaurant) (1889)

 This candid look at students drinking, smoking, and sleeping in the Brasserie d'étudiants demonstrates Béraud's social fluidity. He is described as a perfect gentleman, impeccably dressed, above trends and fashions, whose abilities allow him to blend in. One of the figures in the picture is communicating with the artist and thus faces the viewer directly, taking his pipe out of his mouth as if to speak. Most everyone was asleep, including the waitress who stopped to smoke. Circular marks on the table and stacked coasters suggest that guests sat there long enough for Béraud to capture their portraits as well as the details of the scene.
