"The Waiter" is a painting by Robert Henri, an American painter and influential teacher who was a leading figure of the Ashcan School of American realism. Created in 1900, this work exemplifies Henri's interest in depicting everyday life and ordinary people with a sense of vitality and immediacy. The painting portrays a waiter, captured in a candid moment of rest or contemplation, suggesting a narrative beyond the canvas.

Robert Henri (1865–1929) was known for his belief that art should be an expression of life and that the artist's mission was to report on the human experience as honestly as possible. His philosophy of art was encapsulated in his role as an educator and his book "The Art Spirit," which became a seminal text for generations of artists.

"The Waiter" reflects Henri's focus on the human condition, his loose and expressive brushwork, and his use of color to convey mood and character. The painting is a fine example of Henri's skill in portraiture, where the subject is rendered with both empathy and psychological depth. Henri's portraits often featured people from the lower classes, including laborers, dancers, and children, whom he painted with dignity and a sense of their individuality.

As a work of the Ashcan School, "The Waiter" is part of a movement that sought to portray scenes of daily life in New York City, shying away from idealized images and instead embracing the raw and gritty aspects of the urban environment. The painting is significant for its contribution to this movement and for its representation of the American working class at the turn of the 20th century.

"The Waiter" remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Robert Henri and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance. The painting is held in a public or private collection, and it has been exhibited and discussed in the context of both Henri's body of work and the broader trends in American art of the early 20th century.
