The Absinthe Drinker (Manet painting)

The Absinthe Drinker (French: Le Buveur d'absinthe) is an early painting by Édouard Manet, c.1859, considered to be his first major painting and first original work. Manet became a student in the studio of Thomas Couture from 1850 but grew to dislike his master's Salon style and thereafter set up his own studio in 1856. Little of Manet's earliest work survives and much may have been destroyed by Manet himself. * Aesop by Velázquez * Menippus by Velázquez * The Old Musician by Manet * L'Indifférent by Watteau
