About the piece
Painted in 1878 by Robert Walker Macbeth, this Victorian genre work captures a delicate moment of friction during a garden breakfast. The composition is grounded by the massive, aged tree trunk, providing a textured backdrop to the meticulously detailed tea set and the expressive, silent interaction between the couple.
