The Lady in the Cafe

            The painting is of a cafe.  Only the back left-hand corner of the room is shown.  To the left of the corner is a wall-sized window.  All you can see out of the window is one big, dark building with three windows on the top half of what you can see and a column of long cement blocks next to two more windows on the boton half of what you can see. A pot sits on the window sill with medium length plant leaves that stretch out like the plume of a hat. To the right of the corner is a white wall made brighter by the light shining in from the window. Two tables are placed against the left wall.  Each table has two chairs, one on the two sides perpendicular to the window wall.  On the table closest to the viewer is a small, white, circular doily with various condiments on it.  A lonely lady sits  at the table to the back, wearing a dark, knee length, halter top, low cut dress.  Beneath the table, you can see her two feet, side by side, wearing blat flats.  Her pale arms lie on the table, her fingers fidgeting.  Her head is tilted slightly to the left, from the viewers perspective, with her hair parted in the middle, with bangs, and it is slightly above shoulder length, curving in towards her face.  Her dark eyes don't reveal much, and her lips make no smile.  She just sits and waits.  In front of her lies a tea cup on what looks to be either a doily or a dish to go with her cup.  The overall feel is lonely, abandoned, and forlorn.  Perhaps she was stood up.
