The artwork titled “My Mother,” created by Edouard Vuillard in 1895, is a portrait painted using oil on board. This piece belongs to the Post-Impressionism movement and measures 24.1 by 19 centimeters. It is currently held in a private collection.
In the artwork, the artist portrays an intimate scene, presumably featuring his mother seated and engaged in a domestic activity. The composition emphasizes subtle hues and textures that highlight the figure’s upper body and facial profile, which faces towards the right. The background is rendered with soft, muted colors, providing a gentle contrast to the dark attire and the shaded contours of the subject. The intricate brushstrokes and the nuanced use of light and shadow draw attention to the emotional and personal resonance of the depicted moment, characteristic of Vuillard’s distinctive style in capturing everyday life.
