In Concert (l.e.) (b) Lladro Figurine

The character in this piece from the Goyescas collection plays bohemian melodies in a modernist café in the old quarter of town. He stands on a small dais and the hours pass as he plays for expectant customers. Painters, ballerinas and poets meet at the café and talk. They savour the hot coffee dusted with cinnamon and allow the notes of the cello to carry them away to exotic paradises, far from the grey rain of the city.
