Two Ladies and an Officer Seated at Tea is a 1717 oil by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three people sitting around a small, round table. The two women on the left and center wear long dresses and head coverings, while the man on the right is dressed in a red coat and white shirt. The table is set with teacups, saucers, and a teapot. The scene is set in a room with a fireplace and a window with a grid pattern. The atmosphere is quiet and intimate, with the three figures engaged in a moment of leisure. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the scene. To learn more about this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
