“Child at Table” is a genre painting created by Pierre Bonnard in 1893. This work falls under the Post-Impressionism art movement and is rendered in oil on panel. The dimensions of the artwork are 25 by 26.5 centimeters, and it is currently located in a private collection.
In the artwork, a child is seated at a table, depicted with rough and expressive brushstrokes characteristic of Post-Impressionism. The child’s face is centered, emerging from a dark, undefined background that contrasts sharply with the luminous whites and pale colors of the tablecloth and the child’s clothing. The table scene includes a plate and a bowl of fruit, elements painted with equal vigor and spontaneity, giving a sense of immediacy and presence. The thick application of paint and Bonnard’s use of color convey a sense of warmth and intimacy in an everyday domestic scene.
