Child Eating Cherries 1895

Pierre Bonnard's "Child Eating Cherries," painted in 1895, is a charming and intimate portrayal of a young child, likely his son, enjoying a simple meal. The painting showcases Bonnard's signature style, known for its soft, pastel colors and Impressionistic brushstrokes. The focus on light, color, and everyday domesticity defines Bonnard's approach to painting, making "Child Eating Cherries" a quintessential example of his Intimism aesthetic. The close-up view, almost cropped to the table, emphasizes the child's concentration on the task at hand, capturing a fleeting moment of innocence and childhood delight.
