Tea Party

William P. Chappel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a painting of a street scene titled "Tea Party" by William P. Chappel. The painting shows a street with buildings on both sides. A red brick building with two stories and a brown roof is on the right side. To the right of the red building is a tall tree. A group of people, mostly women in long dresses and some men, are standing on the sidewalk in front of the buildings. A man in a blue jacket and white pants walks on the sidewalk on the left side of the image. A child runs on the sidewalk. The sky is blue and fades to yellow near the horizon. The painting appears to be on a rectangular piece of wood or canvas.
