Label TextThis work, along with two others by French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in the Stieglitz Collection, was a part of his series Le Café Concert. The series aimed to illustrate the variety of people within the world of cabarets. The title identifies the man wearing a checkered suit as an American singer. He strides to the right, perhaps leaving after having just performed, or on the way to a cabaret.

Esta obra, junto con otras dos del artista francés Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec de la Colección Stieglitz, formaba parte de su serie Le Café Concert. La serie pretendía ilustrar la variedad de personas dentro del mundo de los cabarets. Este título identififica al hombre que viste un traje a cuadros como un cantante estadounidense, quien camina dando grandes zancadas hacia la derecha, tal vez saliendo después de su actuación, o de camino a un cabaret.
