The composition is split into two distinct yet connected scenes: the upper register depicts a lively café or social gathering from the year 1893, rendered in thick, textured brushwork and pastel highlights. Elegant figures dressed in ornate period attire, adorned with wide hats and floral embellishments, converse and mingle beneath warm, shadowy light.

The lower portion transitions into a dreamlike urban streetscape bathed in golden-yellow and green tones. A solitary figure in a wide-brimmed hat and fur coat walks a small dog under glowing streetlamps, with geometric shafts of light suggesting reflections, movement, and the passage of time. The interplay of eras—marked by the painted year 1893 above and the contemporary stylization below—creates a sense of nostalgia and temporal overlap.

Signed “Alex Days” and dated 11-10-93 at the lower right, the work is presented in a polished chrome frame that enhances its modern-meets-historical aesthetic. A striking piece for collectors of narrative impressionism and art that bridges vintage romance with modern abstraction.
