This sketch shows a dimly lit café with empty tables and chairs. A few people sit alone, barely visible in the shadows. Mirrors and framed pictures hang on the walls, but everything looks quiet and unused. The artist used quick, rough lines to show the mood of the place. The light is soft, and the scene feels lonely. Look up Gramatté, Walter to see more of his work.
