Painting of an elderly couple seated at a tea table with a teapot and cups, a tabby cat on the windowsill and potted plants behind them.

Afternoon Tea

An elderly man in a brown coat and dark cap and an elderly woman in a green coat with a white lace cap sit side by side at a round table set with a teapot, cups, and saucers. A tabby cat watches from a windowsill behind them, where potted geraniums stand. The loose, painterly brushwork gives the scene a soft, intimate feel.

Español: La hora del té

Un hombre mayor con abrigo marrón y gorra oscura y una mujer mayor con abrigo verde y cofia blanca de encaje se sientan juntos ante una mesa redonda con tetera, tazas y platillos. Detrás, sobre el alféizar de una ventana, un gato atigrado observa, junto a macetas de geranios. La pincelada suelta crea una atmósfera suave e íntima.

Português: Hora do chá

Um homem idoso de casaco marrom e boina escura e uma mulher idosa de casaco verde e touca branca de renda sentam-se lado a lado diante de uma mesa redonda com bule, xícaras e pires. Atrás deles, um gato malhado observa do peitoril da janela, ao lado de vasos de gerânios. A pincelada solta dá à cena um clima suave e íntimo.
