Description of the picture

The painting depicts a cozy and a little mysterious corner, reminiscent of a cafe in an old building. In the foreground are two chairs and a small table. Their shape and arrangement create a sense of silence and expectation, as if people had just sat here. There are barely visible details on the table, a vase with a flower, which adds to the atmosphere.
Behind the table is a wall with cracked plaster, its texture emphasizing the antiquity and character of the place. The faded tones of the wall and the cracks create the effect of time passing through this space.
The most expressive detail of the painting is the shadows of the two lovers against the wall. They seem to enliven the whole plot: the figures reach for each other, conveying a moment of tenderness and romance. The shadows are in contrast to the immobility of the furniture, as a symbol of the fact that the feelings are temporary but deep.
This composition evokes nostalgia and a slight sadness in the viewer, inviting him to immerse himself in reflections on love and its traces in the world around him.
