拍品專文

Vuillard became a member of the Nabi Group, formed in 1889 with the artists Paul Sérusier, Maurice Denis, and Pierre Bonnard, around 1890, the year in which the present work was rendered . Employing non-naturalistic color schemes (a practice later adopted by Matisse and the Fauves), the group infused their painting with elements of the decorative arts, focusing on literary symbolism, exoticism, and orientalism. Nabis painted in simple, unbroken patterns, often using brilliant primary colors in the creation of their compositions.
