In this painting, the artist endeavored to convey the magical lighting of an al fresco evening environment. The lanterns dominate the illumination against the backdrop of the smaller lights that spread across the canvas. In the haze of the foliage, there are some subtle hints of purple that add to the contrast of the warm colors. The waiter\’s outfit catches the light and adds some accents of cooler blues that draw the viewer\’s attention to the activity of setting tables.
