Afternoon Tea Party is a 1890 ink by Mary Cassatt, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this painting, two women are seated in a cozy interior setting. One woman is dressed in a dark jacket and a blue headscarf, while the other wears a light-colored dress. The woman in the dark jacket is holding a blue teacup and saucer, and there are more teacups on a table in front of them. The room is decorated with a mirror and a plant, and the atmosphere appears to be one of quiet conversation and relaxation. The use of color and light in the painting creates a sense of warmth and intimacy. The painting is an example of Impressionism, a movement that emphasized capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life.
