“A lady, stout and plain, her knees awkwardly apart, sits behind a small round tea-table filling a cup from a large urn. Seven other ladies sit on her right and left, in a semicircle, on upright chairs, in silent boredom. A child sits by its ugly middle-aged mother on the extreme right. A black servant in livery hands a tray on which are cups, cream-jug, and small (?) rolls. The room is bare except for table, chairs, and a narrow curtained window.”–British Museum online catalogue.
