Description of the Artwork
This painting depicts a billiards scene in an indoor setting, featuring a corpulent man dressed in a yellow suit, green tie, and hat. He holds a billiard cue while adjusting his tie, with an expression of surprise or bewilderment. Beside him, another character, slimmer and dressed in black, points at the billiard table with an emphatic gesture, suggesting a moment of tension or discussion.
In the background, a calendar displaying an image of a voluptuous woman in a red dress sitting on a bed adds a humorous touch to the composition. Warm earthy tones dominate the scene, contrasting with the vibrant green of the billiard tables.
The painting is stylistically associated with Contemporary Figurativism with influences from Neofiguration, characterized by exaggerated volumetric figures and an expressive approach. The artwork carries a clear satirical intention and a narrative atmosphere, blending realism with stylization to emphasize irony and playfulness in the scene.
