The artwork, titled “Mon intérieur, Paris (Nature morte à l’accordéon)”, was created by the artist Tsuguharu Foujita in 1922. Falling under the Magic Realism art movement, this piece belongs to the interior genre, depicting an arrangement of objects within a domestic setting.
In the artwork, one can observe a meticulously arranged tabletop adorned with various items, including an accordion centered between two ceramic dog figurines. The table is covered with a red, patterned cloth, upon which rests a few additional items: an open book, a teapot, and a booklet titled “L’Analyse Le La Voyage.” Above this setting, there is a framed illustration depicting diverse human figures engaged in different activities, labeled “Degrés des âges.” Furthermore, the simplicity of the background walls contrasts with the more detailed and colorful elements in the foreground, allowing the composition to draw the viewer’s attention to the central tableau. The overall atmosphere evokes a sense of everyday tranquility and intimate exploration of domestic life.
