Le Yack - Nightcap - Hand signed

A bar atop a building, at night. Beyond the large picture windows, the city stretches as far as the eye can see, its windows lit and an avenue of light running toward the horizon. A woman in a long midnight-blue gown, her hair in a low bun and her lips red, sits on a tall stool. She holds a champagne flute resting on the polished counter between her fingertips. A brass lamp casts a golden glow on the wall. In the shadows, an empty armchair.
The whole city lies at her feet, yet she looks only at her glass. Is she waiting for someone who’s running late? Or perhaps she is silently celebrating news that no one else knows yet. Behind her, the empty armchair carries as much weight as her presence. She has the look of those film noir heroines who are always one step ahead. If someone is supposed to be coming, Le Yack hasn’t let them in yet.
Ink-blue night envelops the entire room, except for this corner where the brass, polished wood, and champagne glow together. An elegant solitude, held delicately between the fingertips, like the flute.
