Yikes, I've sat at that very same table! Didn't see her there, tho. But, that was 40 years ago. Nice to see they've changed the wall decorations since then.

Nice one, it seems that she stays in Spain, in a little town or something like that

This is magnificent Amin........ it is like a Dutch Master....... the balance of light and shade......... the contained composition...... the central subject of the woman and book architypal...... amazing...... enclosed by the shadow...... the extras on the table are so reminiscent of a dutch master its totally reinforcing....... this image definetly has the lifted quality I always search for but rarely find....... where something lifted is happening...... here this image is so charactured it is like an art directed piece where the woman the props and the lighting are selected and brought together...... but here it is in reality witnessed and created by you..... amazing......

Cheers Baby Jez XXXXXXX
