Afternoon Tea
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting by Percy Shakespeare, created in the 1930s. This delightful artwork captures a serene moment of British society life during the summertime. Set against a backdrop of lush green lawns and vibrant flowers, a marquee tent provides shade for an elegant gathering. In this idyllic scene, young women dressed in pink gowns enjoy their leisurely afternoon tea. The air is filled with laughter and conversation as they indulge in delicious cakes and refreshing beverages poured from an ornate samovar. A male servant attends to their needs, pouring tea with precision while maintaining the utmost grace. A child can be seen in profile, adding innocence and charm to the composition. The atmosphere exudes tranquility as sunlight filters through the trees, casting gentle shadows on the field where sports are being played. This painting beautifully encapsulates traditional British customs and societal norms of that era. It transports us back to a time when afternoon tea was not just a mere beverage but rather an occasion for socializing and relaxation amidst nature's beauty. Percy Shakespeare's masterful brushstrokes bring this scene to life, capturing every detail with meticulous attention. "Afternoon Tea" is truly a timeless piece that evokes nostalgia for simpler times while celebrating the elegance of British culture.
