Le Yack - One for my baby - Hand signed

A woman alone in a large empty room. Black dress, midnight-blue felt hat tilted over her eyes, thin-heeled sandals, legs crossed. She sits obliquely in a wide cream boucle swivel chair and raises a carved glass toward the light. Beside the chair, on the floor, sits a bottle three-quarters full. To the right, a window opens onto a bright blue sky and a neighboring building.

The gesture is the subject: she toasts to nobody, against the light, in a room where there is nothing else. The hat hides her eyes — we will not know what she is looking at. It is the elegant melancholy of the last tours, that of Arlen and Mercer’s song: the hour when the hall is empty and one still speaks. Only three values — the gray of the wall, the black of the silhouette, the cream of the chair — with the amber of the glass as the sole color.

Raking light, long and sharp shadows on a polished floor that reflects everything. The complexions are modeled in warm glazes against the matte black of the dress; the boucle of the chair is the only place truly textured, built up in tight, small strokes. The glass and the bottle are painted in transparency, with dry highlights on the crystal edges.
