Corner coffee shop scene, glass on two sides. On the left, on a red banquette, a blonde young woman in a scarlet woolen dress lowers her eyes to a phone she holds with both hands; in front of her, two cups. On the right, seated side by side, a brunette woman in a blue bodice looks straight at the viewer, hands crossed, while a man in a gray suit and felt hat consults his screen, one hand to his chin. In the background, a server in an apron wipes a glass behind the red counter. Through the glass: a blue sedan, a policeman, pedestrians hurrying in the blue-green of evening. Semiotically, the canvas shifts the Hopferian motif of urban solitude toward its exact actualization: it is no longer night or the city that separate the figures, but two luminous rectangles held at chest height. Only the woman in blue is still looking at someone—and that someone is us. A smooth facture, a palette of saturated reds, bottle greens, and warm ochre, urban tenebrism.

Delivery information: The canvas is shipped rolled without stretcher, carefully protected, placed in a reinforced rigid tube. This shipping method guarantees optimal protection of the artwork during transport. The buyer will have the canvas mounted on a frame by a local framer according to their presentation preferences.
