Description: | This work is a 'conversation piece', a group portrait in which the sitters engage with each other rather than the viewer. The type probably began in the Netherlands, with Coques for example, it but became an established English form in the hands of Mercier, Hogarth, Devis and Zoffany. In this example a gentleman and a lady are seated at a small table drinking tea. A second woman stands behind the table leaning on the back of a chair. | Subjects: | everyday life (figures in an interior) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8872... | Go to resource |
