Augustina

Many young artists
used to go to that cabaret-restaurant. Vincent met its boss, Augustina
Segatori, with whom he will have a short-lived affair.
It was in that cabaret that Vincent organised the first exhibition of
Japanese engravings, which would appeal to numerous painters but which
would not have commercial success. Then he would exhibit several of his
works but fell out with Augustina after quarrelling with a Café
waiter.
It looks as if he left several of his paintings at the Tambourin,, sold
some time later to a bric-à-brac trader when the Tambourin went
bankrupt.
