Restaurant 1990

"Restaurant" (1990) by John Register (1939-1996) depicts a lone figure seated at a booth in a restaurant by a large window overlooking a body of water. Register was known for his distinctive style, often using pen and ink to create detailed, almost photographic renderings of everyday scenes. The artist's focus on mundane moments captures a sense of quiet contemplation and solitude, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences of urban life.
