The scene captures the essence of 18th-century French society with its focus on fashion and refinement. Dressed in exquisite gowns adorned with intricate lace and ribbons, the ladies exude grace and sophistication. Their powdered wigs add an air of grandeur to their already regal presence. As they sit under the shade of a sprawling tree, sipping from delicate porcelain cups filled with steaming tea from a gleaming kettle nearby, one can almost taste the warmth and sweetness of this cherished beverage.
