'A Merchant's Wife Having Tea' is the title of this scene. Please notice the cat telling its human companion that incidentally she (the cat that is) would like a few tidbits too, if you would be so kind. A very polite cat, you can tell it from the first glance. Painted in 1918 by the Russian painter Boris Kustodiev (1878-1927), it is kept in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow (Russia).
