La coutourière 1893 - 1894

"La coutourière" is a lithograph by French artist Édouard Vuillard, created between 1893 and 1894. The artwork depicts a woman, likely a seamstress, in a dimly lit room, with only her back visible. The composition is dominated by muted blues and grays, capturing a sense of intimacy and domesticity. Vuillard's use of bold lines and simplified forms, characteristic of the Nabis movement, emphasizes the subject's silhouette and the interior space, creating a visually engaging and suggestive artwork. "La coutourière" is a prime example of Vuillard's artistic focus on everyday life and the beauty found in simple moments.
