"Afternoon Tea at the Temple" (1766) is an oil painting by French artist Michel-Barthelemy Ollivier, also known as Barthélemy Ollivier. This Rococo painting is a representation of a leisurely social gathering, depicting a group of elegantly dressed individuals partaking in the ritual of afternoon tea. The scene is set within the Temple, an area in Paris that was a center of aristocratic life during the 18th century. The Temple referred to a medieval fortress which, by Ollivier's time, had become a fashionable spot for the French nobility and social elite.

The painting is notable for its detailed rendering of the fashions and social customs of the time. Ollivier's work captures the nuances of the afternoon tea, a practice that had become popular among the aristocracy as a social event. The figures are shown engaging in conversation, enjoying tea, and partaking in the genteel pastimes of the era. The artist's use of light and color, as well as his attention to the textures of fabrics and the reflective surfaces of the tea service, contribute to the overall opulence and refined atmosphere of the scene.

Michel-Barthelemy Ollivier was an accomplished painter of the French Rococo, a style characterized by its ornate and decorative qualities, lightness, and emphasis on the pleasures of the aristocracy.
