"Tea" (1872) is an oil painting by the French artist James Jacques Joseph Tissot, known for his genre paintings that capture the life and manners of the Victorian era. This work is a quintessential example of Tissot's keen observation of social rituals and his fascination with the leisure activities of the British upper class, to which he gained access after moving to London in 1871 following the Franco-Prussian War.

The painting depicts a genteel scene of afternoon tea, a social custom that had become a significant aspect of British culture by the mid-19th century. In "Tea," Tissot portrays a group of elegantly dressed individuals partaking in this ritual. The setting is likely a well-appointed drawing room or a garden conservatory, reflecting the domestic luxury of the period. The figures are arranged in a manner that suggests both casual interaction and the subtle complexities of social etiquette.

Tissot's attention to detail is evident in the fine rendering of the textiles, the porcelain tea service, and the play of light on various surfaces, which adds a sense of realism to the scene. The artist's use of color and composition also contributes to the tranquil and refined atmosphere of the painting. "Tea" is notable for its depiction of contemporary fashion, as Tissot was particularly interested in the clothing and style of his subjects, often using fashion to convey character and social status.

As with many of Tissot's works, "Tea" is admired for its narrative quality and the way it captures a moment in time, offering insight into the social dynamics and cultural norms of the Victorian upper class. The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Tissot's oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century European art.
