That day in the Spanish city of Leon snow fell, wet and heavy. Since morning, the snow was on the ankle. Astonished by such a surprise, the young people played snowballs cheerfully.
I was not in high spirits, as I forgot the folding chair, and the city benches stood all in the open, while the wet snow continued to fall.
"I must look for a cafe with windows on the cathedral, there is no other way out!" - I decided.
In the restaurant El Topo (on the corner of the Plaza de Regla and the street of Mariano Dominguez Berrueta) there was just a table by the window through which a side facade with the Portal of the Apocalypse was visible.
The season is by no means a tourist, and in the restaurant the waiter clung to me in such a way that I realized that I would not be able to get off a cup of coffee.
In short… I was painting well-fed and warm, but this study costed me the cost of a lunch in the restaurant plus a portrait-sketch of the waiter.
Painted on paper by Fabriano, 100% cotton.
The work is inserted into a white plastic frame and gray passepartout with a sheet of protective plastic.
The size in the frame is 43x33 cm.
