Maternité, 1895 – 1896 1895 - 1896

Édouard Vuillard’s 1895-96 lithograph, *Maternité*, depicts a young woman seated in a dark interior, gazing down at a small child in her lap. The simplified forms and bold outlines are characteristic of Vuillard’s *Nabis* style, where he used color to create a sense of mood and atmosphere. The print showcases Vuillard’s exploration of domestic scenes, often featuring his mother and sister, conveying a sense of intimacy and quietude. *Maternité* exemplifies the artist's ability to capture the warmth and tenderness of familial life.
