Flowers by the Window 10F (53 x 45.5 cm) by Toshiyasu Doi

This work is a painting depicting a scene from a Parisian cafe.

On the right, delicate white flowers are painted on a dark-toned window frame, through which a bright cityscape with the Eiffel Tower is visible.

People are sitting outside the café, which has an eye-catching yellow awning, depicting their peaceful daily lives.

The painting contrasts the bustle of the city with the tranquility of the window, giving the viewer a sense of both the hustle and bustle of the city and its hidden silence. The subdued colors give the work a warm impression overall.
