The content of this art is to interest in observing and capturing the day to day social and work life around as. Mary Cassatt American artist created this work of art. She created lady at the table to say thank you for elegant Japanese tea set. This art was created in 1885.  The lady at the tea table is Mrs. Moore’s portrait as a gift the blue and white with little gold was to show the standard of the family. Lady at the tea table can be analyzed with feminist analysis and biographical analysis.

Feminist analysis: when I absorbed that portrait tell me how people viewed women in 1800s. Women were known as to keep up with the standard, beauty, friends, and family, that’s the reason Mrs. Moore’s sit with her back straight, holds the tea perfectly and drinks tea from an expensive tea set.

Biographical analysis: by reading about Cassatt I noticed that she is known as making day to day social and work life and in “the lady at the tea table” Cassatt captured Mrs. Moore’s social life, she looks sad and lonely this tells me that she was going through something, her friends are not with her and it does not seem right because tea is described as assemble. Cassatt knew how to capture everything because maybe she went through the same thing as Mrs. Moore’s.

Overall, I loved this blog assignment this was the most fun assignment we had. The best part was remaking the art because it made me feel like an artist. To remake I used photography modeled myself, put a lot more sunlight than the original art and I had to make a fake table for my art. This assignment did take more time than others but it was the best one.

  1. Hi Amna,
    Great job on your remake! I have to say that i love tea as well. I have tried so many kinds that i don’t get tired from trying different ones. It is a good way to socialize with your friends and drink tea with this delicate Japanese tea set. I like how you organize it very well even the ring matches .

  2. Hi Amna,
    Your recreation looks great! I think you managed to capture the feel of the original portrait. I’m a big fan of Impressionism and Mary Cassatt was a wonderful artist. Also, I’m a big lover of tea and I have a soft spot for pretty tea sets. I really like the one in your portrait!

  3. Hello Amna, Nice remake. Your remake it too a modern copy of the original. I like how chose to use a replica of the original tea set. I am only a fan of sweet tea and like our classmate stated it is a very good way to socialize and embrace your inner woman.
