Garden Afternoon Tea, 1890, Peder Mønsted — Art Postcard

Painted in 1890, this early dated work shows a fashionable garden afternoon: a woman in a red dress and wide straw hat pauses over tea at a small table, a signpost half-hidden in the tree behind her. The mood is lighter and more intimate than Mønsted's grand forest and lake views from the same years — closer to the everyday Impressionism in the air at the time.

Worth a second look for anyone tracking Mønsted's early figurative work, well before the landscapes he became known for.
