In
the big hall of a monastery inn is turmoil of departure preparations and
farewells. The whole action is spinning around a big dinner table with samovar.
The morning tea-drinking is finished,
only children are left. Young man drinks
up hurriedly his cup of tea. Two little old ladies treat each other with tea
from the samovar. This splendid genre scene was inspired by impressions of
everyday life in Sviato-Tikhons cloister in Zadonsk. The painting is a great example of how tea-drinking ritual joins people of
different society levels.
