In the foreground is Pierre Ducarre, manager of the cafés concert Alcazar d'Ete and the Ambassadeurs, and who, according to the performer Yvette Guilbert, always looked like a guest at a poor person's wedding. A year after this print was made, Ducarre would stiff Lautrec on the price of a poster for Aristide Bruant, possibly emphasizing the cheapness Guilbert found apparent.
