The Tea Set 1872

"The Tea Set" (1872) by Claude Monet is a still life painting featuring a simple arrangement of a tea set on a table. The teapot and teacups are adorned with delicate blue and white floral patterns, set on a red lacquered tray. The inclusion of a plant pot on the left of the composition adds a touch of nature to this everyday scene, demonstrating Monet's keen eye for capturing beauty in the ordinary. The painting, executed in a loose and impressionistic style, exemplifies Monet's signature approach to capturing light and color.
