About this work

This print shows a giant teacup with steam rising out of it. Inside the cup, tiny figures are swimming or floating. The cup has a greenish body with pink accents, a handle, and a saucer with a cherry and a swirl of whipped cream. The whole scene is simple, with flat colors and clean lines. The tiny figures inside the cup look like they’re having fun, almost like they’re playing in a bathtub. The artist used bold outlines and bright colors to keep it playful and dreamy. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like it.
