Café Du Tambourin
The cafe was frequented by the friends of Dantan and Van Gogh. In 1887, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec possibly created his 1887 portrait of Van Gogh at the Café du Tambourin. The café was also frequently visited by writers and art critics such as author Sophie de Juvigny. The Café Tambourin was the location of Van Gogh's first exhibition in Paris, probably only still lifes of flowers. In March 1887 Segatori and Van Gogh presented a collection of Japanese prints acquired by the artist. In July 1887, Van Gogh exhibited his works and those of his friends, Paul Gauguin, Louis Anquetin and Émile Bernard. At this exhibition, Émile Bernard and Louis Anquetin sold their work for the first time.
Later, the Café du Tambourin became bankrupt, and was renamed the Cabaret de la Butte in 1893 and then the Cabaret des Quat'z'Arts at the end of the century.
