A Traditional Dutch Tea Time, 1915 by Ethel Parkinson This image, painted by the British artist Ethel Parkinson in 1915, depicts a young Dutch girl drawing water from the village pump for a traditional tea time. The scene is set in the Netherlands, with quintessential Dutch architecture in the background, including gabled houses with red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls. The girl, dressed in traditional Dutch attire, wears a voluminous, high-waisted, full-skirted dress with a white apron, and a simple, lace-trimmed cap. In her hands, she holds a large, copper kettle, which she has just drawn from the village pump. The pump, a symbol of community and the simple pleasures of rural life, stands tall and sturdy, its handle worn smooth from years of use. The girl's expression is one of contentment and serenity, as she goes about her daily routine, preparing for a comforting and nourishing cup of tea. The scene is filled with warmth and charm, capturing the essence of a bygone era, where life moved at a slower pace, and simple pleasures were cherished. Ethel Parkinson's skillful use of color and light adds depth and texture to the painting, with the rich hues of the girl's dress and the warm, earthy tones of the pump and the background landscape. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional ways of life and the simple joys of a cup of tea.
