After Breakfast (Päättynyt aamiainen / Avslutad frukost), 1890, by Elin Danielson-Gambogi (1861–1919)

Apparently this painting is the first depiction of a woman with a hungover in Finnish art, at least by a female artist. It was condemned and mocked by the contemporaries; even Danielson-Gambogi herself later seems to have regretted presenting it publicly, calling it "that idiotic breakfast thing". *

Obviously I disagree with her: I've always loved this painting and its atmosphere :)
