“**Horse Hair Glove**,” created by Pierre Bonnard in 1939, is an oil painting on canvas that belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement. This artwork falls under the genre of nude painting (nu) and is presently housed in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a nude female figure engrossed in her grooming routine, holding a horsehair glove. The composition is set within a domestic interior, possibly a bathroom, as suggested by the presence of a washstand or basin and toiletries in the background. Bonnard employs a vibrant, warm color palette, with rich yellows, purples, and blues dominating the scene. His characteristic use of loose brushstrokes is evident, giving the painting a textured, almost impressionistic feel. The woman’s contemplative pose and the intimate setting evoke a sense of quiet introspection and gentle domesticity.
