The artwork, titled “Woman with Dog (also known as Marthe Bonnard and Her Dog)”, was created by Pierre Bonnard in 1906. This genre painting, executed with oil on canvas, belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 64.5 x 66.5 cm, and it is currently housed in a private collection.
In the artwork, Pierre Bonnard has depicted a woman, identified as Marthe Bonnard, seated beside her dog. The composition is rich with warm colors and expressive brushstrokes characteristic of Post-Impressionism, creating a sense of intimacy and warmth. The woman and her dog are enveloped in an ambient glow that suggests the presence of a nearby light source, possibly a hearth. The background is abstract and imbued with dark, muted tones, providing a striking contrast to the illuminated figures in the foreground. The overall effect is one of subdued tranquility, capturing a quiet, reflective moment shared between the woman and her faithful companion.
