Description

This is one of Nogués’ most important works. His observation of the subjects, the rhythm of the composition and the highly accomplished drypoint technique are wonderfully and successfully combined. Nogués reveals his liking for detail, which he resolves with technical flair, in his depiction of this couple in a café.
