This black-and-white image shows two people sitting at a small table in what looks like a dimly lit café. The person on the left is a woman with a hat, her hands resting on the table. The person on the right is a man with a beard and hat, leaning back with a drink in front of him. The table has a plate, a glass, and a candle. The painting is actually a print, not an original painting—it’s one of five made using a photo-based method. The artist took an old photograph and turned it into this image, keeping the original look but making it their own. Check out how this was made using lithography.
