Edouard Vuillard - The Earthenware Pot [1895]


This richly decorative canvas is one of five paintings known collectively as 'The Album' and now dispersed. All depict flower-filled interiors in which women converse, read and sew. The avant-garde publisher Thadée Natanson commissioned the works for his Paris apartment.

[Oil on canvas, 65 x 116 cm]
