In this sharply observed urban vignette, Bert Esenherz captures a fleeting moment that simmers with quiet defiance. A couple, mid-retort, has just risen from their bar stools—confrontational, unbothered, unwilling to conform. Their energy disrupts the otherwise languid mood of a late morning in the city. Around them, the world continues to drift in a haze of leisure—coffee cups, casual chatter, small indulgences. Yet the painting holds tension like a breath: a reminder that even in the stillest moments, resistance has a seat at the table.
