About this work

This painting is a black and white etching of a scene. In the center, a woman sits at a table, holding a cup and saucer. Another woman stands behind her, looking down. The room is decorated with ornate furniture and a large mirror. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom. The image is detailed, with intricate lines and textures. The use of black and white creates a sense of contrast and depth. The scene appears to be a quiet moment of everyday life, captured in a realistic and intimate way.
