Gezin bij tafel in theekoepel 1752 - 1819

"Gezin bij tafel in theekoepel" (Family at a table in the tea pavilion), created between 1752 and 1819 by Dutch artist Jurriaan Andriessen, depicts a family gathered in a tea pavilion. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, utilizes a simple yet effective style, emphasizing the scene's intimacy through delicate lines and shading. The pavilion's structure is visible through the windows and the domed ceiling, while the family's seated positions around the table suggest a moment of shared conversation or leisure. This drawing offers a glimpse into the domestic life of a Dutch family during the 18th century.
