The artwork “Madame Vuillard Cousant,” created by Edouard Vuillard in 1895, is an oil on board painting. It falls under the Intimism art movement and measures 29.2 by 27.9 centimeters. The genre of this artwork is portraiture, and it is currently held in a private collection.
In this portrait, a tranquil domestic scene is depicted with a focus on a female figure engaged in the act of sewing. The figure, presumably Madame Vuillard, is seated and bent over her work, creating an atmosphere of quiet concentration. The composition is marked by its muted color palette, dominated by earth tones, which brings a sense of homeliness and intimacy. The background features simple wall décor and a restrained use of detail, which draws attention to the central figure. Vuillard’s technique, characterized by soft and somewhat blurred brushstrokes, adds to the intimate and personal nature of the scene, evoking a sense of warmth and familiarity.
