The artwork, titled “Untitled (Woman on balcony),” by Pierre Bonnard, dates back to circa 1900. It is a lithograph and belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement. The piece is categorized under the design genre and is part of the “Frieze of Carriages” series.
In the artwork, Pierre Bonnard illustrates two distinct panels within the composition. At the top portion of each panel, horse-drawn carriages are depicted in a minimalist style, emphasizing form and color over intricate detail. Below the carriages, two women stand on a balcony, their figures partially rendered through basic shapes and texture, suggesting a cloaked or draped appearance. The overall composition uses a muted palette and large areas of negative space, adding a sense of openness and simplicity to the design. The blend of linear elements and soft curves in the attire and architecture conveys a harmonious balance typical of Bonnard’s artistic approach within the Post-Impressionist context.
