A Cup of Tea 1946

Philip Evergood's 1946 painting "A Cup of Tea" depicts a woman in a lavish, colorful setting, possibly an interior space, with a tea set and a potted plant on a table beside her. Her attire is striking, with a large collar and a gold necklace. The figure's slightly distorted features and the bright, vibrant colors of the painting suggest a style associated with American Regionalism, with its emphasis on everyday life and the individual. The small dog and the playful use of color also bring a sense of whimsy to the composition, creating a vivid portrayal of a domestic scene.
