Study for -Dining Room in the Country- 1913

Pierre Bonnard's "Study for -Dining Room in the Country-" is a 1913 pencil sketch depicting an interior scene. The drawing utilizes loose, gestural lines to capture the essence of a room, likely in Bonnard's own home. The composition is characterized by a sense of depth and intimacy, with the artist's signature focus on light and color, even in this preliminary study. The sketch, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, offers a glimpse into Bonnard's artistic process, illustrating his interest in domestic settings and his ability to evoke a sense of atmosphere through minimal means.
