Relaxed yet measured strokes of muted oil paints fabricate a faint cityscape for the scene, with lights of the establishments around the road straining through the glass of the café in which the lady is sitting. Her honey-brown tresses are open and she wears a faded blue shirt, carrying the nonchalance of a modern woman in her manner. Fingers of her left hand tainted with grey nail polish mindlessly play with the coffee cup that sits before her on the café table. On the lower right corner of the canvas, a corner of a wooden chair is visible, bringing the context of a café to one’s mind. 

The woman’s eyes seem to sparkle distinctly, as she gazes at some point outside the canvas and a jubilant smile appears on her face. We are masterfully guided by her facial cues to a story of the “someone” who is on the other end of the phone. A lover? A long-lost friend? Who might she be waiting for? Or is it a piece of long-due news? That is the dreamy musing this oil on canvas leaves you with.
