High Tea, 1866
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a charming scene from the past, painted by Alexander Hugo Bakker-Korff. In this intimate oil on panel piece, measuring 21.6x22.2 cm, we are transported to a cozy interior where a group of elderly ladies indulges in their afternoon ritual. The setting exudes warmth and tranquility as the women sit around a tea table adorned with delicate china and an inviting spread of treats. One lady dozes off peacefully in her chair, wearing a traditional bonnet and apron while clutching onto an empty bottle nearby – perhaps hinting at the presence of alcoholic beverages during this gathering. A boiling kettle sits atop the stove, ready to replenish their cups with steaming tea. Bakker-Korff's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of each character; their expressions convey both contentment and weariness that come with old age. One woman even appears to be mixing something in her cup, adding an intriguing element to the composition. This painting offers us a glimpse into another era when high tea was not just about sipping tea but also about socializing and finding solace among friends. As we admire this masterful work from eLawrence Steigrad Fine Arts' private collection via Bridgeman Images, it reminds us of the enduring beauty found within everyday moments throughout history.
