This document is a painting. We can see a restaurent or a bar. There are four people: one barman, two men who are wearing suits and hats. We think they are gangsters or detectives. The bar men is serving drinks. The situation is very strange because there is nobody on the street. It looks like it ishappening early in the morning because it is dark outside, the only light we can see is the light from the bar. It is quiet.
