“Cabaret ‘Belle Gabrielle'” is a notable oil on canvas painting by the artist Maurice Utrillo, a prominent figure in the Post-Impressionism art movement. Measuring 73.7 by 54 centimeters, the artwork depicts a cityscape and is currently housed in the Saint Louis Art Museum, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
The artwork presents a quiet urban scene, with the foreground dominated by the entrance of a building, presumably the namesake cabaret. The buildings exhibit Utrillo’s characteristic handling of urban architecture, with an emphasis on texture and subdued color palette. The scene features a narrow, deserted, paved street flanked by facades adorned with windows and balconies. Trees with sparse, autumnal foliage are visible rising above the buildings, their presence adding a natural element to the otherwise architectural focus. The composition is imbued with a sense of calm and stillness, capturing the serene atmosphere of a seemingly ordinary yet evocative urban environment.
