A Cup of Tea and a Quiet Cigarette after Lunch George du Maurier. Scanned image and text by George P. Landow [This image may be used without prior permission for any scholarly or educational purpose.]
Commentary: Like "Breakfast at Bonnebouche Hall during the Holidays," this drawing differs from most of du Maurier's work in two ways: first, it makes no use of dialogue, witty or otherwise, and second, it emphasizes a crowded social panorama rather than an elegant composition with comparatively few figures.
