Afternoon Café I Framed Art
Out of Stock
Description
Afternoon Café I is a framed print from an original work by Louis du Var. His evocative paintings capture the relaxed outdoor life of the Mediterranean – in particular France, Italy and Spain. This work shows a little back street in France, with people enjoying eating al fresco under the shade of umbrellas. From the flagstones of the street to the tub of flowers, from the white table cloths to the shop fronts dappled with sunlight, the lively atmosphere is captured beautifully and colourfully. The elegantly framed Afternoon Café I print complements the Afternoon Café II and Sunlit Street prints by the same artist. Dimensions. Width: 48cm (19in). Height: 68cm (27in).
Our Stylist Says
I love the cheerful, nostalgic vibe of this picture, making it a versatile choice for many interiors. It works particularly well in casual living spaces, kitchens, or cafe- style areas where a relaxed, inviting atmosphere is desired. When styling, consider pairing it with neutral or pastel-coloured accessories to let the artwork take centre stage, or embed it within a gallery wall for added visual interest. Practical tip: hang it at eye level in a well-lit spot to ensure the details are appreciated, and complement with simple framing to keep the focus on the vibrant street scene. This piece can instantly add a touch of charm and a sense of everyday life to your decor.
