This is a French print illustration by George Barbier. This is indicative of the era of avant-garde in the early 1900s. It is considered a depiction of queer subculture during this time, either related to butch/femme lesbian relationships or “cross-dressing” subculture. 

Two figures, one feminine and one masculine, sit at a table with the words "les Dames Seules" in script printed over them.
