In the Cafe de la Rotonde, Paris is a 1921 oil by Alexandre Jacovleff, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This painting depicts a man sitting at a table in a cafe. He is dressed in dark attire, with his hands clasped together in front of him. The table is set with a glass bottle and a wine glass. In the background, the walls of the cafe are visible, with a checkered pattern on the floor. The man's facial expression is one of contemplation, and his posture suggests a sense of relaxation. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet introspection. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up the technique.
