Look at the tension in this room!
🍷 In "A Roman Osteria," the Danish master Wenzel Ulrik Tornøe (1844-1907) captures a silent war of glances. While the lady's flirting seems innocent to some, the man on the left is clearly at his breaking point.
🎨 Interesting fact: Tornøe was famous for his ability to paint light and human emotions in everyday scenes.
