Le Yack - The Return — Bowler Hat at the Lit Window - Hand-signed

A small cobbled square after the rain. The wet stones reflect the light like a second sky. In the background, a white house with green shutters, a single streetlamp lit, and a window upstairs burning with an amber glow. Above, the sky still hesitates between the blue of day and night.
From behind, a man in a long black coat and a bowler hat has stopped in the middle of the square. He looks at the window. How long will he stay there? The painting holds him forever in this moment, that of before the decision: knock, go away, or merely observe. A tribute at once to Magritte and to Hopper, two painters of waiting. A work powerfully narrative, almost cinematic, to hang in an office, a study, an entrance — anywhere one likes images to pose questions.
