Le Yack - Nocturne with Cigarette - Hand signed

Leaning against a stone pillar, a woman in a dark suit holds a cigarette between two fingers. Her gaze slides to the right, beyond the frame. Behind her, a street lamp lights a wet street where a black car is reflected. In the distance, the Eiffel Tower stands out in white bursts against the blue night sky.
The painting captures the moment when one waits for someone without saying it, at the hour when Paris slows down. We think of French cinema from the fifties, of Carné and his wet streets, where every intersection hides a story.
A Parisian nocturne, elegant and tense, where the cigarette is the only thing that moves.
