The girl was facing the audience and the decorations, wine and flowers in a vase endowed the girl with a dreamy look. The lively banquet scene was reflected through a large mirror behind the girl. Through this mirror, we could see the girl talking with customers and many other customers sitting around the tables within the bar. All of these were vaguely shown, making people feel like in the dream. Using this dreamy light to reproduce reality was hard to achieve for anyone before or after Manet. The attractions of this girl image were she made people feel that she was one of many illusions which were full of fascinating charm. In the last few years of his life, Manet painted a large number of women portraits with charming appearance and personality. In these portraits, he neither concentrated on the performance of his characteristic style, nor showed the shading effect of impressionism, but to fulfill the general appreciation feeling.
