Le Yack - Dinner at Dusk - Hand signed

A dining room at dusk. At the far end of a long, dark wooden table, a man in a dark suit and black tie lowers his head. At the other end, a woman with wavy auburn hair, wearing a mustard-colored dress, looks straight ahead. A white tablecloth covers only her side of the table. The table is set for four, with a bottle of wine and, in the middle, a lit candle. A golden ray from the right envelops the woman, while the window on the left fades into the blue of evening.
Two empty chairs, two silent diners. Guests who never arrived, or a couple with nothing left to say to each other? The tablecloth draws a boundary down the middle of the table: she is in the light, he is in the shadows. Who will leave the table first? As his only answer, Le Yack lights a candle between them.
The cold blue of evening on the man's side, the burning yellow on the woman's: the light divides the room in two, and the candle's small flame stands alone in the middle.
