More about this artwork

"Lady at the Tea Table" by Mary Cassatt is a poignant painting that captures an elder woman, possibly in her private moment of tea. Dressed in a dark robe with a white lace bonnet, the woman sits poised before a delicate arranged tea set. The table is set with a porcelain service, featuring vivid blue decorations that add a touch of color to the mostly muted tones. The teacups and pots with their rich, royal blue designs suggest refinement and an appreciation for the finer things.The woman’s expression is contemplative and serene, suggesting a moment of introspection or quietude. Her gaze is directed slightly off to the side, as if lost in thought or calmly observing her surroundings. Mary Cassatt’s use of light enhances the texture and detail of the lace bonnet and the tea set, emphasizing a stark contrast against the woman’s plain, dark attire.Cassatt's brushwork lends a softness to the subject, typical of her style that focuses on intimate, everyday scenes. Her portrayal of the woman at the tea table is not just an observation of a mundane activity, but a deeper reflection on personality, age, and perhaps solitude. This painting serves as a window into the quieter, more reflective moments of life, approached with grace and a fine attention to detail.

Mary Stevenson Cassatt was an American painter and printmaker. She was born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh’s North Side), but lived much of her adult life in France where she befriended Edgar Degas and exhibited with the Impressionists. Cassatt often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children.

She was described by Gustave Geffroy as one of "les trois grandes dames" (the three great ladies) of Impressionism alongside Marie Bracquemond and Berthe Morisot.In 1879, Diego Martelli compared her to Degas, as they both sought to depict movement, light, and design in the most modern sense.
