Café de Sèvres
1931

A vintage black and white print depicting a bustling street scene outside a café with signs advertising "Café Chocolat" and "Bière Grutli." People are engaged in various activities: a man pushes a handcart, another sits at an outdoor table, and several figures walk by or stand in conversation. The artwork has a strong contrast with dark shadows and is signed by the artist in the lower right corner.
