Breakfast

Édouard Vuillard, 1894

This painting shows a person seated at a table in a bright yellow chair, facing the right. The person has pale skin and gray hair, and they are wearing a loose-fitting light brown garment, similar to a long coat or dress. On the table in front of them appear to be various indistinct objects in shades of white and red. The background has a dark green area on the right which may be a wall or curtain, with a lighter area on the left that maybe be a window or door. The floor is painted in shades of brown and beige. The brushstrokes in the painting are thick and visible, making the scene appear blurred.
