"In a Café," also known as "The Absinthe Drinker," is a renowned painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, created between 1875 and 1876. This work is a significant example of Degas's contribution to the Impressionist movement, although he preferred to be called a realist. The painting is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France.

The artwork depicts a scene inside a Parisian café, capturing the social atmosphere of the time. It features two figures, a man and a woman, who are seated at a table with glasses of absinthe before them. The woman, identified as actress Ellen Andrée, appears despondent and detached, staring blankly into space, while the man, identified as engraver and painter Marcellin Desboutin, looks to the side, seemingly lost in his own thoughts. The portrayal of the figures conveys a sense of isolation and disconnection, despite their physical proximity.

Degas's use of color and composition in "In a Café" is notable for its realism and the way it reflects the mood of the Parisian café culture. The painting's subject matter, the consumption of absinthe, a potent alcoholic drink associated with bohemian life, was a controversial topic at the time and contributed to the work's initial mixed reception. The painting's stark portrayal of the psychological effects of the drink and the social alienation of urban life was groundbreaking and has since been interpreted as a commentary on modernity and the human condition.

"In a Café" is celebrated for its innovative approach to composition, lighting, and perspective, which are characteristic of Degas's style. The painting's significance lies not only in its technical mastery but also in its social commentary, making it an important work in the history of 19th-century art. It continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its evocative representation of the era's café society and the complexities of human interaction within it.
