Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Bergere


 A Bar at the Folies-Bergere is one among the most known of Manet's paintings and a lot have been written to explain numerous of it's aspects especially the reflection on the mirror that doesn't follow optical rules.
Speculations about the girl's gaze - it seems to me she is completely absented minded - is another topic. Is she staring at us? 
The bottles, the crowd...
Lately I just feel like watching at the paintings I like without analyzing
I wish I could be in front of the painting. I don't know why but I can't stop watching it.
