Although the artist is anonymous, it certainly can be compared with similar works by Charles Vernier. We have compared this panorama to Charles Vernier's panorama Les Bals de Paris and the style is almost identical. La Closerie des Lilas, a legendary Parisian brasserie located in the 6th arrondissement, has a rich cultural history that dates back to its founding in 1847 by François Bullier. Initially a simple eatery named La Closerie des Genets after a play by Frédéric Soulié, it evolved into La Closerie des Lilas as Bullier filled its garden with lilac trees. Its close proximity to the popular Bal Bullier dance hall made it a favored meeting spot for dancers, both before and after the festivities. Over time, it became a hub for artists, writers, and intellectuals, who frequented the brasserie for its vibrant atmosphere. Some of the most prominent figures in literature and art, including Émile Zola, Paul Cézanne, Oscar Wilde, Paul Verlaine, and Pablo Picasso, regularly visited. Ernest Hemingway was a particularly influential patron, using it as a place to write articles for the Toronto Star. Picasso was introduced to the Closerie by poet Guillaume Apollinaire in 1905, long before Hemingway made it famous in his own right. .
