| Reverse description | A full-color reproduction of Vincent van Gogh's 1888 oil painting 'Café Terrace at Night' (also known as 'Terrace of a Café at Night, Place du Forum') is presented within an ornate decorative frame. The painting depicts the gas-lit terrace of the Café de la Nuit on the Place du Forum in Arles, France, rendered in van Gogh's characteristic vivid impasto style with a deep blue star-filled night sky contrasting against the warm golden-yellow glow of the café awning. The surrounding frame features intricate foliate and geometric relief ornamentation enhancing the artistic presentation of the piece. |
