A Cup of Chocolate, 1888
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Sir John Lavery that takes us back to the late nineteenth century. The artwork showcases the interior of the Affafrey Kiosk, an enchanting setting at the Great Exhibition in Glasgow. Lavery's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as he skillfully captures the ambiance and atmosphere of this historical event. The focal point of the painting is a lone female figure seated on a chair, enjoying her cup of hot chocolate. She appears lost in thought, perhaps reflecting on her surroundings or simply savoring this momentary escape from reality. The vibrant yellow curtains and floral drapes create a warm and inviting backdrop for this intimate scene. Surrounding the central figure are other visitors to the exhibition, going about their leisurely activities. Their presence adds depth and life to the composition while emphasizing themes of loneliness and human connection within bustling environments. Lavery's use of color and light brings out the richness and texture of each object depicted – from kitchenware to clothing – immersing viewers into this historic era. Through his masterful technique, he transports us back in time, allowing us to experience both nostalgia for days gone by and appreciation for artistic craftsmanship. This print offers a glimpse into not only Lavery's artistic genius but also into an important moment in history when art exhibitions were grand spectacles that brought people together from all walks of life.
