About this work

This painting shows a bright, sunny street corner with a small restaurant called *Crèmerie-Restaurant*. The building has a balcony with wooden railings and a yellow awning. Outside, there are two tables with chairs set up on the sidewalk. The colors are warm—pinks, yellows, and reds—with a clear blue sky behind. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a lively, textured look. The artist focused on everyday life, not polished details. Check out the technique: impasto next to see how thick paint can change a painting.
