"A Cup of Tea" (1883) by Charles Sprague Pearce presents a refined and serene portrayal of a Japanese woman in a richly adorned blue kimono, seated gracefully as she delicately holds a tea bowl. The composition captures an intimate moment within the cultural ritual of tea drinking, exuding calm and quiet sophistication. Soft, naturalistic light highlights the textures of the fabric, the floral patterns, and her serene expression. The harmonious arrangement of flowers, pottery, and subtle details reflects Pearce's sensitivity to both cultural context and aesthetic beauty, showcasing the influence of Japonisme in 19th-century Western art.
