About The Dining Room

“The Dining Room,” an artwork by Paul Signac, was created around 1886 to 1887. This oil on canvas painting, exemplifying the Pointillism and Neo-Impressionism movements, measures 89 by 116 centimeters. It is classified as a genre painting and is housed in the Kröller-Müller Museum located in Otterlo, Netherlands.

The artwork portrays an intimate domestic scene rendered with meticulous pointillist technique, typical of Signac’s style. Three figures are engaged in a tranquil moment around a dining table. The elderly man, seated to the right, appears contemplative while holding a cup. Two women are also present; one sits quietly on the left, sipping her drink, and the other, standing in the background, seems ready to serve. The backdrop is adorned with elegant curtains and a potted plant, exuding an aura of homely refinement. The warm, harmonious colors and detailed dots create a sense of vibrancy and texture, reflecting the peaceful and routine nature of domestic life.
