1944

A vibrant watercolor painting depicting a lively scene at a restaurant or cabaret. In the foreground, a man with a jovial expression, wearing a suit and bowler hat, is dancing or gesturing with his hands. Behind him, two tables are occupied by elegantly dressed patrons enjoying the entertainment. The women wear dresses with various adornments, and the men are in suits with bow ties. The background is dark, suggesting a nighttime setting, and the brushstrokes give the scene a dynamic and somewhat whimsical atmosphere. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
