Two women in white dresses stand just inside a café doorway, half in sun and half in shadow. The figure at left catches the brightest light; her dress glows against the dark threshold as she turns slightly toward us. Her companion leans back into the dim interior, head tipped and arm raised, her form modeled by warm rim light. Long angular shadows stretch across the wooden floor, drawing the eye inward and grounding the scene.

Through the open door, a sunlit street and pale church facades fade into simplified blocks of blue, ochre, and mint, a cool counterpoint to the café’s deep browns and violets. Paint handling toggles between crisp silhouettes at the doorway and broader, blocky strokes in the background and floor. A small round table with a bottle and cup anchors the right, balancing the composition and reinforcing the quiet, cinematic mood of a summer afternoon.
