Description:
"The cozy breakfast time was a favourite theme of the great painters, and the Impressionists loved portraying the humble joys of the table. Steinlen also serves up a breakfast drink in appropriate style. Mother (Emilie) and child (Colette) sit side by side, the blonde daughter drinking her chocolate, while mamma enjoys a cup of aromatic Chinese tea made by the ‘Compagnie Fran�aise des Chocolats et des Thes’ (French Chocolate and Tea Company) The purring cat in the foreground signifies contentment. Steinlen’s lines are smooth and sensitive, and he confines himself to a few well-synchronized colours"(Paris 1900, p.170)
