An oil on canvas showing a tavern scene by the Alsatian painter Albert Bayer (1895-1967).
Around a table, four characters, including the central couple, look at us. Dressed in bright colors, they offer the viewer a slight smile, sharing with us this important event in the young man’s life, his appointment as a “conscript” (a term used between 1798 and 1870), in other words, his imminent departure to perform his military service.
