“The Table Setting,” created by Edouard Vuillard in 1903, is a notable artwork from the Intimism art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 37.5 x 61 cm, and it falls under the genre of interior painting. Presently, it resides in a private collection.
The artwork portrays an intimate domestic scene, capturing a table set for a meal. The tablecloth, adorned with a rich, dark pattern, is draped over the table, partially covered by a white cloth with subtle red details. Various objects, including a teapot, cups, plates, and platters, are thoughtfully arranged across the table, indicating preparations for a gathering or meal. The background reveals a glimpse of the room’s interior, with chairs placed against the wall and a cupboard containing more household items. The warm, earthy tones and soft, somewhat blurred brushstrokes typical of Vuillard’s style contribute to a cozy, inviting atmosphere, highlighting the charm and tranquility of everyday life.
