Description |
"Even the question of whom it represents involves a degree of controversy. Lautrec and his cousin Tapie de Celeyran are shown walking across the rear space, having passed La Goulue who adjusts her hair in a mirror. Joyant identified the figures around the table as, from left to right, the author and dandy Edouard Dujardin, La Macarona, Paul Sescau and Maurice Guibert. He named the woman at the right as 'Nelly C.', though recent writers favour May Milton. It has also been suggested that the central woman with red hair is Jane Avril, an identification which should remain speculative as she appears a fuller figure than in Lautrec's other images of the dancer."
