Pierre Bonnard's "Maison dans la Cour" (1899), an impressionistic depiction of Parisian architecture, showcases Bonnard's signature use of color and light. The lithograph captures a view from a window, framing an adjacent building with its tiled roof and a figure hanging laundry. This intimate scene, characteristic of Bonnard's work, emphasizes the ordinary beauty found in everyday life and the Parisian cityscape. The artwork's delicate lines and subtle color variations contribute to its serene atmosphere.

This is the view from the window of Bonnard's studio in Montmartre near the Place de Clichy. The artist was deeply attached to his neighborhood during the 1890s, and regularly depicted the area in his prints and paintings.
