“After the Ball” is an artwork created by Edouard Vuillard in 1893. This painting, belonging to the Intimism art movement, is a genre painting with dimensions of 26.7 x 35.6 cm. It currently resides in a private collection.
The artwork portrays a quiet, reflective scene, demonstrating Vuillard’s characteristic use of muted color palettes and intimate, domestic subject matter. A figure, possibly a woman, is depicted in seated repose, seemingly absorbed in thought or conversation. The use of earthy tones and soft, blurred lines creates a contemplative atmosphere, inviting viewers to ponder the nuances of ordinary life captured in this moment. The softened, almost abstract forms contribute to the intimate and personal feel of the scene, underscoring the emotional undercurrents typical of the Intimism movement.
