by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, who died September 9, 1901, at the age of 36 from complications due to alcoholism and syphilis.
His was a sad life, and I'm in no mood to dwell on it. The woman in the painting, on the other hand, looks quite content in that comfortable chair with her paper and cup of coffee. There are instructions at this link to brew the perfect single cup pour-over, which I'm sure is what she's drinking. Here's mine:
On the other hand, if we choose to go out I'll take the fresh Colombian:
Definitely the fresh Colombian. I'm sharing this post at the T Stands for Tuesday blogger gathering. Join us? All it takes is a post with a drink in it.

the woman in the painting looks like she's starting her day in the perfect way. Though, I'd prefer tea in the blue cups.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, enjoyed your post-when I could drink coffee-I loved a good pour over cup-I have a china pot with a china piece to place on top with a filter to pour over boiling water

I love your cup and saucer! It matches the painting so beautifully 😁. Such a fun video too, the mustaches are so much fun and I can see why you like Colombian coffee ...lol 😉. Happy T Tuesday! J 😊 x
ReplyDeletecould be taken out of the painting:) perfect!
ReplyDeleteI have seen some of Lautrec's works at an exhibit and did buy and read a book about his life and his paintings and drawings. Sad indeed. Fun video to end the post with. happy T day!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that Toulouse-Lautrec died at such a young age. I enjoy when you share about artists, my only current art education! This is the perfect TSFT post! Happy Tea Day!
ReplyDeleteGood art, lovely cups and great coffee are for me some of the best things in life. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYour cup and saucer look lovely, I love to see blue and white china.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovelt painting you shared as well
Happy T day wishes.

You're so kind, D, to describe Lautrec's life as a sad one. I went to Wikipedia to remind myself of the details of his difficult life. It was sad and dissolute. On the other hand, he created some wonderful art and rubbed elbows with many of the greats of his time. You always give me food for thought at tea. BTW, your cup could have been lifted right out of that painting!
ReplyDeleteHappy T-day! Hugs, Eileen
That is a wonderful painting. I have never seen that one by Toulouse-Lautrec. I'm not a coffee drinker but I still enjoyed the post. Especially that coffee cup which was the same style that my grandmother used to have. Hope it was a good tea day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteShe looks quite lovely in her pretty gown and chair. A beautiful painting.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
Coffee and a brief time of stillness is always a good idea.
ReplyDeleteHappy T day!
I'm finally back online. I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner, because I take my hosting duties seriously. What a beautiful painting and one I wouldn't have associated with Toulouse-Lautrec. I think of his dance hall posters and caricatures first. That is a beauty and your cup and saucer are, too. I have a set in green that is similar to yours. Thanks for sharing this Toulouse-Lautrec painting and your cup and saucer, as well as the Columbian video with us for T this Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteBlue and white china is a favorite of mine. Yours is beautiful! As is the painting. Thank you so much for sharing it this T Tuesday. I always see something new when i visit you. I apologize for being late this week. Happy Belated T day Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteFresh Columbian...

That painting is so familiar but I didn't recognise the name in your post header until I saw her. You know that you and I have a coffee connection. LOL! Major Dickenson has been popular here lately.
