The presence of a chairback in the lower right-hand corner of the canvas suggests that the viewer is sitting at a nearby table, from which vantage-point a stranger might be able to glance, uninvited, upon the woman.

Aristotle is here portrayed as a beggar-philosopher, a popular conceit in the seventeenth century.

He is surrounded by light reminiscent of Caravaggio, with whom Ribera is often associated. That, and his direct, naturalistic style"

The similarities between the two paintings suggest that Manet's ""The Plum"" may be a response to Degas's ""L'Absinthe"". Degas's painting shows a bleak scene of despair blunted by absinthe; Manet's is a more hopeful scene, where there is the chance that the sitter's loneliness may be broken.

Similarly, the work of Constantin Brâncuși at the beginning of the century paved the way for later abstract sculpture. In revolt against the naturalism of Rodin and his late 19th-century contemporaries, Brâncuși distilled subjects down to their essences as illustrated by the elegantly refined forms of his ""Bird in Space"" series (1924). These elegantly refined forms became synonymous with 20th-century sculpture. In 1927, Brâncuși"
