Afternoon Tea Party is a 1890 ink by Mary Cassatt, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows two women sitting at a table, engaged in conversation. The woman on the left is dressed in dark attire and a head covering, while the woman on the right wears a white dress. A teapot and cups are placed on the table between them. The scene is set against a backdrop of a window with a plant visible outside, suggesting a daytime setting. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of intimacy and warmth in the scene. The painting's style and technique are reminiscent of Impressionism, with soft brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the play of light. If you're interested in learning more about this style, you might want to explore the Impressionism movement.
