Masterful alla prima oil painting, loose confident brushwork, wet-on-wet handling, expressive visible strokes in selective places instead of uniformly, selective impasto in the highlights, luminous warm interior light, broken color, many lost-and-found edges, gestural figure painting, painterly realism, painterly, naturalistic anatomy, intimate and spontaneous atmosphere. A Vietnamese woman, blonde hair, tousled bun, sits near a window in a cafe, slightly turned away from the viewer, absorbed in a book. One hand supports the book, the other rests near a cup. Steam rises from the cup. A folded napkin with a spoon is on the table, a second book sits on the table. The window provides cool exterior light while the café gives warmer interior light. Palette of warm cream, muted brown, dusty rose, blue-gray, and soft amber. No added text, no border, signed in the bottom corner with the name "Ev" represented.
