Pouring chocolate (La Chocolatiere)

The painting depicts an eighteenth- or nineteenth-century woman sitting at a circular table preparing tea. She is dressed in period clothing with wide skirts and wearing a bonnet. Behind the table we see a classical interior with wooden panels and a painting on the wall. The atmosphere of the painting is peaceful and the still life creates an intimate mood of domestic comfort.
