"Lady Taking Tea" (French: "La Femme prenant du thé") is an 18th-century genre painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, completed in 1735. The painting is a quintessential example of Chardin's mastery in depicting domestic scenes with a sense of tranquility and introspective calm. It is also known by the title "The Tea Service" (French: "Le Service de thé").

The artwork features a woman, elegantly dressed, seated at a table and engaged in the act of pouring tea. The setting is intimate and reflects the private sphere of everyday life in the Parisian bourgeoisie. Chardin's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of textures and materials, from the woman's attire to the porcelain tea service and the metallic teapot, all illuminated by soft, natural light.

"Lady Taking Tea" is celebrated for its refined composition and the artist's subtle use of color, which contribute to the serene atmosphere of the scene. Chardin's work is often noted for its influence on the development of still life and genre painting in France, and this painting, in particular, is admired for its quiet elegance and the artist's skillful portrayal of a moment of simple, yet profound, domestic pleasure.

The painting is held in the collection of the Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery in Glasgow, Scotland. It has been widely studied as an example of Chardin's contribution to the Rococo movement and his departure from the grand historical and mythological themes that dominated French painting at the time. Instead, Chardin chose to focus on the beauty of ordinary life, elevating the status of genre scenes through his exquisite craftsmanship and nuanced observation of the human condition.
