The artwork, titled “Madame Vuillard at Table,” was created by the artist Edouard Vuillard in 1888. This piece belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and is a portrait measuring 27 x 34.5 cm. Currently, the artwork is held within a private collection.
In the artwork, a figure is prominently seated at a table, enveloped in a dim, warm ambiance that hints at the intimate setting of a home interior. The figure, presumably Madame Vuillard, is depicted with a contemplative and serene expression, partially cast in shadow, highlighting the play of light and dark. The surrounding elements, rendered in a loosely defined yet evocative manner, blur the boundary between the interior space and a glimpse of greenery through what appears to be a window. Vuillard’s use of rich, subdued colors and soft brushstrokes contributes to the overall feeling of calm introspection depicted in this intimate portrait.
