Conversations about Politics in a Café

A satirical scene drawn with a great observational skill. Excellent characterisation of the figures and the situation they are in with a minimal use of formal tropes. An expressive, but subtle, thin line, light, washed-out colors in several tones, a synthetic, flat patch of colour.
