“Valloton and Misia in the Dining Room at Rue Saint-Florentin” is a post-impressionist portrait created by Édouard Vuillard in 1899. This artwork, executed in oil on cardboard, measures 50 x 67 cm and is part of a private collection.
The artwork illustrates an intimate dining room scene where two figures, one standing and one seated, are encompassed by the richly patterned and decorative interior. The texture and depth of the oil medium on cardboard are evident, providing a tactile sense to the image. The intricate wallpaper and elements around the figures add a sense of warmth and familiarity to the setting. The use of muted and earthy color tones reflects a serene domestic atmosphere. This artwork exemplifies Vuillard’s skill in capturing the nuanced interplay of human presence and the surrounding environment, typical of the Post-Impressionism movement.
