This painting presents two protagonists, a Lady and her Dog.
We look at them in this meditative moment, they are sitting on the terrace of a café.
The Dog, charismatic and docile, observes us.
The Lady, in a confident position, sips her espresso, lost in thought.
She is detached from the place and the looks that are directed at her.
Confident, she stands out with her assertive posture and her unadorned beauty.
The painting presents three predominant colors: a gray blue, a bronze yellow and a brown which subtly complement each other to depict our two characters.
They are very sober, dressed in black and white.
We nevertheless observe a coquetry which allows us to link them to the decor but also to better understand them.
It is mainly their looks that put them in the spotlight.
They allow us to give free rein to our imagination:
Why are they here?
Are they on vacation?
Or is it a daily habit?
Are they waiting for someone?
What is she looking at?
