Cafe

A woman leans forward, chin propped on her hand, wearing a warm ochre hat against a deep blue interior. On the table before her, a tall glass and a shallow bowl are indicated only by loose blue outline. Behind her, a faint, ghostly sketch of another face is scratched into the wall, like a mirror reflection or a half-erased memory.

The scene is built almost entirely in blues, from near-black shadow to chalky pale highlights on the face and forearm, with the hat's ochre the only warm note. Paint is thinned and scumbled, letting sketched charcoal-like lines show through the surface. The mood is quiet and introspective, as if the sitter is lost in private thought.
