Afternoon Tea, 1897
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white lithograph created by the renowned American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler. This exquisite piece of art captures the essence of leisure and refinement during the Gilded Age in 19th century America. Set in a country location, two elegantly dressed women are depicted sitting together, engrossed in conversation over a delightful afternoon tea. The Victorian fashion they adorn reflects the societal norms and customs of that era. Whistler's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays their delicate features and graceful postures. The lithograph, printed on laid paper using lithotint technique, showcases Whistler's mastery in capturing light and shadows. The monochromatic palette adds an air of sophistication to the scene, emphasizing the timeless elegance of this moment frozen in time. This print holds great historical significance as it provides us with a glimpse into the social rituals and cultural practices prevalent during this period. It serves as a testament to Whistler's ability to capture not only physical appearances but also intangible emotions within his artwork. Currently housed at the National Gallery of Art Washington as part of its Rosenwald Collection, "Afternoon Tea, 1897" continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and artistic finesse. As we admire this masterpiece by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, we are transported back to an era where afternoon tea was more than just a beverage – it was an opportunity for connection and indulgence amidst
