Table for ladies - Edward Hopper
This realistic work, Table for Ladies, is a genre scene painted by Edward Hopper. It depicts an interior scene in a café or restaurant. A waitress is seen in the foreground, carefully arranging food on the counter, which appears to be dedicated to fruit and refreshments, perhaps suggesting an emphasis on the freshness and quality of the produce served.
The attention to detail, such as the arrangement of the fruit and the care shown by the waitress, helps to create an atmosphere of attentive, personalised service. The presence of other customers in the background, deep in conversation or reading, adds depth to the scene and illustrates the everyday life of the place. The lighting, warm colour palette and calm atmosphere convey a sense of welcome and conviviality, key elements of the dining experience at the time.
