The chandler’s ship restaurant is private-dinner serving restaurant found in an old building located at gelderskade 8 street in Amsterdam. This restaurant is unique and different than the common restaurants found in the city of Amsterdam. Unlike the other restaurants, it is serves particular group of tourists. The setting of the restaurant and the way it operates also differ from other restaurants in the Amsterdam. For this and some other reasons, I have chosen the location to be the focus of my study.

Firstly, The restaurant is old and staffs used in the restaurant are traditional too. In this way, it reflects the heritage of Dutch voyages and culture.

The Chinatown neighborhood has different restaurants, including a Korean and numerous Chinese restaurants. The Chinatown neighborhood has many gift stores, cosmetics stores, ice cream stores, and bakery.

The artist used colors and light to draw one’s attention to the diner and the people in it and then to the only character not facing the viewer. This emphasis with the use of colors and light means “that our attention is drawn more to certain parts of a composition than to others” (Getlein 127); when the emphasis is on “a relatively small, clearly defined area” (Getlein 127) this is called a focal point.

Despite that, she was friendly and with a smile on the face to welcome the customers. The most co...
