This painting shows a woman sitting in a café, wearing a white blouse and a black skirt. She is holding a glass with an orange drink and a straw in her right hand. Her left hand is resting on her lap. She is sitting on a wooden chair with a backrest. The background is a window with a lattice pattern. The woman is looking down, seemingly lost in thought. The overall atmosphere of the painting is quiet and contemplative. The use of muted colors adds to the sense of calmness. The artist who created this painting is Isaac Israëls.
