Original Description
Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta's La Hora Del Te (Tea Time) captivates viewers with its exquisite depiction of 19th-century aristocratic leisure. The painting portrays an elegantly dressed woman in a sumptuous interior, poised with refined grace as she prepares tea—an intimate yet opulent moment frozen in time. Executed with Madrazo's signature precision, the work showcases his mastery of realism and luminous color palette, influenced by French academic painting and Spanish portraiture traditions. Created during the late 1800s when Madrazo flourished in Parisian high society circles, this piece epitomizes his specialty in fashionable genre scenes. As part of the Madrazo artistic dynasty—his grandfather was Goya's disciple—Raimundo's works became prized documentations of Belle Époque sophistication. Today, La Hora Del Te represents not just technical brilliance but also a cultural artifact of European elite customs, standing as a jewel among Museo del Prado's collection of Spanish masterworks.
For interior styling, this painting deserves a curated setting that enhances its aristocratic charm. A gilded Rococo-revival frame would complement its period elegance, ideally displayed in a formal living room or executive office with classical moldings. Position it as a focal point above a vintage marquetry console or velvet-upholstered settee, maintaining eye-level hanging (center at 57" from floor). The artwork's warm ochres and cream tones harmonize beautifully with rich emerald greens or sapphire blues in surrounding textiles, while gilt accents mirror the teacup's metallic sheen. Given its likely modest scale—characteristic of Madrazo's interior scenes—pair it with sconces or table lamps featuring floral motifs to create a vignette echoing the painting's intimate atmosphere. In contemporary spaces, balance its traditionalism with clean-lined furniture for sophisticated contrast, allowing the artwork to serve as a timeless conversation piece.
