Known for his etchings, watercolors, and oil paintings, Menpes traveled extensively, capturing diverse cultures and landscapes through his art.

"A Tea House, Shanghai" exemplifies Menpes' fascination with East Asian culture, a common theme in his work following his travels to Japan, China, and other parts of Asia. The painting offers a glimpse into the daily life and social customs of Shanghai during the late Qing Dynasty. Menpes' keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the atmosphere of his subjects are evident in this work, which portrays the interior of a traditional Chinese tea house.

The composition of "A Tea House, Shanghai" is marked by its intricate depiction of architectural elements, traditional furnishings, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. Menpes' use of color and texture brings to life the rich cultural tapestry of Shanghai, highlighting the elegance and tranquility of the tea house setting. The painting not only serves as an artistic representation but also as a historical document, providing insights into the social and cultural milieu of the time.
