Highlighted by bright yellow umbrellas against a green background of polished marble, this image compares and contrasts simultaneous dining activity from table to table. While the three people in the foreground may either be waiting for service or are finished eating, most of the customers in the background seem to be actively pursuing a drink or meal. Two of the tables in the background feature interaction as well. The yellow umbrellas add a festive touch to the scene, while the marble wall brings a sense of quality to an urban dining experience. Even the empty chairs in the middle of the picture play a role. They can symbolize loneliness within a crowd, a common theme in urban scenes such as this one.
