The artwork titled “Seated Woman Dressed in Black” was created by Edouard Vuillard in the year 1893. Executed with oil on board, this piece is an example of the Post-Impressionism movement. With dimensions measuring 43 x 23 cm, the genre painting is held within a private collection.
In the artwork, a solitary woman dressed in black is seated, blending into the soft, muted tones of her surrounding environment. The brushwork is expressive and the composition intimate, characteristic of Vuillard’s style. The background features a richly textured wall and a glimpse through an adjoining doorway, evoking the quiet atmosphere of an interior space. The use of color and texture exemplifies the Post-Impressionist attempts to convey mood and emotional depth beyond mere visual representation.
