The artwork titled “After the Lunch” was created by Edouard Vuillard in the year 1900. It belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and falls under the genre of interior paintings. The artwork has dimensions of 28 x 36 cm.
In the artwork, a domestic interior scene is depicted with a figure seated at a table. The background features a vividly patterned wallpaper, predominantly in yellow tones with scattered red motifs. The figure appears to be blurred or somewhat indistinct, which draws attention to the surrounding details and the ambiance of the room. Various objects, potentially items from a meal, are seen on the table. Off to the right, a doorway with vertical striped curtains allows a glimpse into another part of the house, adding depth to the composition. The overall color palette is dominated by warm, bright colors, creating an intimate and cozy feeling. This piece exemplifies Vuillard’s characteristic focus on capturing the quiet essence of everyday interior life, using a vibrant, almost abstract style.
