Painting of a woman in a black dress and long black glove, arm raised, singing with mouth open against a dim background with touches of red.

Café Singer

A woman in a dark dress and long black glove raises one arm, her head tilted back and mouth open mid-song against a dim, warm background. Loose, feathered brushwork in oil on canvas gives the figure a sketched, nocturnal intensity, with touches of red at her neckline and sleeve.

Español: Cantante de café

Una mujer con vestido oscuro y guante negro largo levanta un brazo, con la cabeza echada hacia atrás y la boca abierta mientras canta, frente a un fondo tenue y cálido. Las pinceladas sueltas y difuminadas al óleo sobre lienzo dan a la figura una intensidad boceteada y nocturna, con toques rojos en el escote y la manga.

Português: Cantora de café

Uma mulher de vestido escuro e luva negra longa ergue um braço, com a cabeça inclinada para trás e a boca aberta enquanto canta, diante de um fundo suave e quente. As pinceladas soltas e esfumadas em óleo sobre tela dão à figura uma intensidade esboçada e noturna, com toques vermelhos no decote e na manga.
