Potter and gallery buyer shaking hands across a workbench

A potter in her forties with a short dark bob and a gallery buyer in his fifties in a linen jacket shake hands across a timber workbench, both in profile and cropped at the shoulder, a row of bisque-fired bowls between them. Soft window light rakes in from the left, wrapping her forearm and falling off into warm walnut shadow. One muted teal glaze bowl is the only cool note in a palette of terracotta, clay and warm sand. 35mm, calm plaster wall filling the right third --ar 16:9 --no text, logos
