Madame Vuillard in a bonnet at the Closerie des Genêts
1921
Édouard Vuillard captures his mother, Marie, in a cozy, intimate moment at the Closerie des Genêts in 1921. She sits at a table adorned with a vase of vibrant pink roses, her figure blending seamlessly into the warm, textured background of the room. As a key figure in the Post-Impressionist Nabis movement, Vuillard was famous for these 'intimist' scenes that turned everyday domestic life into rich, patterned tapestries. His mother was his favorite model, appearing in hundreds of his works, often looking just as serene and watchful as she does here.
