Madame Bonnard

Édouard Vuillard, 1895/1900

This painting shows the upper half of a woman's body, focusing on her face, head, and large hat. The woman's body is slightly turned toward the right, but she is looking directly at us. She has fair skin with areas of light pink on her cheeks and forehead, and her facial features are soft, including brown eyes, a small mouth, and dark, curly hair put up under a wide-brimmed hat. The hat has vibrant, abstract patterns in teal, tan, and black. The woman is wearing a dark-colored garment with a high collar. The background is made of light gray and white lines of paint. The brushstrokes in the painting are thick and visible, and in some areas, like the woman's hat and face as well as the background, the light brown color of the surface beneath the paint is visible.
