La terasă is a 1936 by Iosif Iser, depicting letter, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This print shows a café table on a sunny terrace. Two chairs sit empty. A newspaper lies open. The bright light on the tablecloth is almost blinding. Iser often turned everyday scenes into bold shapes. Here, the shadows look almost black against the white cloth. The print feels rough, like you can feel the ink.
