"Afternoon Tea (s./s./t. 173)" is a notable etching and drypoint created by the American-born, British-based artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1897. Whistler, renowned for his contributions to the Aesthetic Movement and his innovative approach to art, produced this work during a period of significant artistic exploration and refinement. The piece exemplifies Whistler's mastery of etching techniques and his keen eye for capturing the subtleties of everyday life.

The etching depicts a serene domestic scene, characterized by its intimate portrayal of a woman engaged in the ritual of afternoon tea. This subject matter aligns with Whistler's frequent focus on quiet, contemplative moments, often featuring solitary or introspective figures. The composition is marked by its delicate lines and the artist's adept use of light and shadow, which imbue the scene with a sense of tranquility and timelessness.

Whistler's "Afternoon Tea" is also notable for its technical execution. The combination of etching and drypoint allows for a rich textural quality, with the drypoint technique contributing to the depth and softness of the lines. This method involves incising the image onto a plate with a hard-pointed needle, creating a burr that holds ink and produces a velvety effect when printed. The result is a work that not only captures the visual essence of the moment but also conveys a tactile sense of presence.

This piece is part of Whistler's broader oeuvre, which includes portraits, landscapes, and scenes of urban life. His work often reflects his interest in Japanese art and design, as well as his commitment to the principles of "art for art's sake." "Afternoon Tea" stands as a testament to Whistler's skill and his ability to elevate everyday scenes into works of profound beauty and contemplation.
