Full Table #4, dated 2005, depicts five figures gathered at café tables in an animated, color-saturated interior, with a glimpse of a Mediterranean-style streetscape through the window. The composition showcases Tarkay's signature bold outlines, flat planes of pure color, and warm figural sensibility — clearly indebted to Matisse and Toulouse-Lautrec.
