Catalogue Note
D'après une tradition familiale, ce tableau aurait été donné par Corot vers 1850 à Madame Trousson ou Tronçon, propriétaire d'une maison que l'artiste occupa.
La guinguette, rare dans Paris intra-muros fleurit au XIXe siècle dans les villages autour de Paris et rencontre un large succès jusqu'en 1870. Séduits pas son côté champêtre, les gens du peuple vont y boire, manger et aussi danser les jours de fête. Le thème de la guinguette est plutôt rare chez Corot. Un tableau de sujet similiaire Paysans attablés à la porte d'un cabaret, est répertorié dans le Robaut, 1905, tome II, n°1418.
