What specifically does the original description of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art say about this artwork created by William P. Chappel? (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

While we don’t know the precise destination of these sixteen well-dressed ladies, an inscription on the reverse of the image suggests they are going to a tea party. Women regularly hosted afternoon or evening tea socials in their homes or at churches to raise funds for charitable causes. The ladies appear to attract some attention as they proceed down Second (now Forsyth) Street, past the smith’s shop owned by David and Jabez Fowler and toward Thomas Foster’s grocery at the corner of Pump (now Canal) Street. Only the sailor and the little boy across the street seem too busy to take notice.

Artpiece information

Artist summary

Choose your preferred item material

In the dropdown selection next to the product you can pick your prefered material and size. Thus, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes referred to as a plexiglass print, will change your favorite original artwork into marvellous décor and forms a great alternative option to canvas or dibond fine art replicas. Your artwork is custom-made with modern UV direct printing technology. The great benefit of a plexiglass print is that sharp contrasts and also smaller artwork details become more recognizeable because of the subtle tonal gradation in the print.
• Aluminium dibond print: These are metal prints on aluminium dibond with an outstanding depth effect. The Aluminium Dibond Print is the best introduction to fine art replicas with aluminum.
• Printed poster (canvas material): Our poster is a UV printed cotton canvas paper with a nice finish on the surface. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm round about the print to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Canvas: A canvas print, which should not be confused with a real canvas painting, is a digital copy applied onto canvas. Also, a printed canvas creates a familiar, positive feeling. A canvas print of this artwork will allow you to transform your art print into a large artpiece. Hanging your canvas print: The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight. This means, it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without the use of any wall-mounts. That is why, canvas prints are suited for all types of walls.

The product

Important note: We try everything in order to depict our art products as exact as it is possible and to display them visually on the various product detail pages. Nevertheless, the pigments of the printed materials, as well as the imprint can differ slightly from the representation on your device's screen. Depending on the screen settings and the quality of the surface, colors can unfortunately not be printed 100% realistically. Considering that all the fine art prints are processed and printed manually, there might also be minor differences in the exact position and the size of the motif.
