Breakfast time or Frukostdags is an oil painting completed in 1887 by the Swedish artist Hanna Pauli (1864–1940).

[2][3][4]The painting Breakfast time played a major role in Hanna Pauli's breakthrough in the Nordic art scene during the late 1880s.

[6] Hanna Pauli had an education of the wealthy middle class that adopted many of the features of noble life in the 18th century, such as learning to draw and paint with watercolour.

She was mainly influenced by the work of Carl Larsson, Peder Severin Krøyer, Laurits Andersen Ring and French artists like Jules Bastien-Lepage.

They saw Hanna Pauli's techniques as too radical and a critic derisively pointed out that perhaps the thick paint on the tablecloth was there because the artist was using it to clean and dry her brushes on it.
