What does Room in New York show?
Room in New York shows a warmly lit yellow room through a dark window frame: a man in a white shirt and waistcoat sits in a red armchair reading a newspaper, while a woman in a red dress sits at the piano and strikes a key with one hand. No one speaks and a round table stands between them, which is why Room in New York quietly tells of closeness and loneliness in the big city.
How is our hand-painted study of Room in New York made?
Our painters paint the study of Room in New York by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order.
