"A Lady Taking Tea" (French: "La Femme prenant du thé") is an oil on canvas painting created in 1735 by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin. Renowned for his genre paintings and still lifes, Chardin's work is celebrated for its textured representation and the quiet, contemplative nature of its subjects. This painting is no exception, depicting a moment of everyday life with a sense of tranquility and introspective depth.

The painting portrays a woman seated at a table, engaging in the solitary activity of taking tea. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with a muted palette that reflects the artist's mastery of color and light. Chardin's skillful use of light imbues the scene with a softness and warmth, highlighting the textures of the woman's clothing, the tablecloth, and the porcelain tea service. The woman's pose and the arrangement of objects on the table suggest a moment paused, evoking a narrative that viewers can only speculate upon.

"A Lady Taking Tea" is often noted for its realistic representation of the material qualities of the subject matter, a hallmark of Chardin's style. The artist's attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the moment without idealization or embellishment make this work a fine example of 18th-century French genre painting. It reflects the Enlightenment's growing interest in the individual, the domestic sphere, and the beauty found in the simplicity of daily life.

The painting is held in the collection of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, where it continues to be admired for its quiet beauty and the insight it provides into the domestic interiors and social customs of the time. As with many of Chardin's works, "A Lady Taking Tea" has been studied extensively by art historians and is considered an important contribution to the Rococo movement, offering a counterpoint to the era's more opulent and decorative tendencies.
