“Woman on the Street” is an oil on panel artwork created by Pierre Bonnard in 1894. This genre painting, executed in the Post-Impressionism style, measures 24 by 28.5 centimeters and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a modest urban scene bathed in rich, warm hues, characteristic of Bonnard’s style. It portrays a woman dressed in a striking red blouse and dark skirt, standing on a street against a backdrop of buildings. The composition includes a white horse and other street elements rendered with soft, blended brushstrokes, creating an impressionistic and somewhat blurred effect. The scene is animated with details like a small dog in the foreground and the bustling atmosphere suggested by shadowy figures in the background. The overall effect is both vivid and evocative, capturing a fleeting moment of everyday life with a sense of quiet dynamism.
