New York Café
1967

Black and white illustration of a 1920s-style cafe scene with five individuals. Two are seated at a table on the right, engaged in conversation over coffee, while a man in a hat sits alone at a table on the left, holding a cane. Two others are partially visible on the far left. The background features decorative wallpaper, and the floor is a checkered pattern. The words "New York Cafe" are faintly visible in reverse at the top, and the artwork is signed by the artist at the bottom right.
