Afternoon Tea Party is a 1890 ink by Mary Cassatt, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Two women sit at a table, sharing tea. One wears a dark coat and blue hat, holding a cup. The other sits in a light dress, watching. The table has blue cups, a teapot, and a vase with flowers. The room looks simple, with plain walls and a window showing trees. The artist used loose lines and soft colors. This style was common in the late 1800s. Look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
Mary Stevenson Cassatt (; May 22, 1844 – June 14, 1926) was an American painter and printmaker.
