1873 — A Cotton Office in New Orleans. Oil on Canvas. Impressionism style. Edgar Degas (1834 – 1917). Musee des Beaux-Arts, Pau, France.
“In 1872, Degas traveled with his brother Rene to New Orleans, Louisiana, to visit their uncle, Michel Musson. After his departure in 1873 back to France was delayed, he decided to paint to pass the time, and intended this painting to be sold to a British textile merchant. But, a worldwide decline in cotton prices made it impossible to make the sale, and he instead exhibited the work in the Impressionist Exhibition in Paris in 1876. In 1878 it was purchased by the Museum of Fine Arts, making it the first sale of one of Degas’ works to a museum.” (WikiPaintings)

1882 — A Bar at the Foiles-Bergere. Oil on canvas. Impressionism style. Edouard Manet (1833 – 1883). Courtauld Institute of Art, London, UK.
“[This painting can] be seen as early twentieth century product placement, with the beers in the foreground on the bar, which are clearly Bass Pale Ale. As England’s first registered trademark, this indicated an English clientele at the bar that night. There has also been much commentary on the composition of the painting, which at first seems to be a mirror image of the girl in the background. Upon closer inspection, however, it is obvious that the placement is incorrect, that it cannot be a mirror image. Other conjectures include that the woman in the foreground is the illustration of what the man in the background is seeing upon approaching the bar.”. (Wikipaintings)
