Seated Woman Dressed in Black 1893

Édouard Vuillard's "Seated Woman Dressed in Black" (1893) is a captivating portrayal of a woman in an interior setting, a theme that dominated Vuillard's artistic output. The artwork is characterized by its intimate scale and a flattened perspective, with the figure of the woman dominating the composition. The use of loose brushstrokes and muted color palette, particularly the rich ochre background and the dark hues of the woman's dress, creates a sense of tranquility and introspective atmosphere. Vuillard's signature style, known as Intimism, is evident in this work, capturing the essence of everyday life with a sense of profoundness.
