Everyday scene, created when the artist's stay in Paris is a 1898 oil by Eliseu Visconti, a Post-Impressionism work, held at São Paulo Museum of Art.
This painting shows a scene of everyday life, with three people in a room. The woman on the left sits in a chair, wearing a white dress, while the man behind her has his arm around her. Another woman stands on the right, holding a tray with a cup on it. The room is dimly lit, with a window in the background that lets in some light. The colors used are muted, with shades of brown and beige dominating the scene. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the figures in the room.
Eliseu Visconti, born Eliseo D'Angelo (30 July 1866 – 15 October 1944), was an Italian-born Brazilian painter, cartoonist, and teacher.
