Summary	The familiar subjects of an everyday scene make this a typical work of the Intimist school, with its intertwining of the interior quality of the subject with the inner feelings of the artist. In the first half of the 1890s, Vuillard and his fellow Nabis artists experimented with flatly decorative paintings influenced by ukiyo-e, but here we can see how he began to bring a sense of the threedimensional, however suggestive, into his works. The soft light shines into the dark room from the window on the left, sharply illuminating the chairs, tables, and woman standing next to them. The astringent green which completely covers the wall makes the spatial relationships vague, while the sharp vermilion of the table and the gray of the woman's dress and fireplace combine with the soft brushstrokes to create a magical harmony out of the low-toned colors. The artist's inner self is linked to the depths of his subject, reverberating and resonating with those depths.

Biography	Born in Cuisaux, France. Moved with his family to Paris when he was 10 years old. In 1888 he briefly studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Under the influence of Gauguin and Serusier, he and his friends from the Academie Julien, Denis, Bonnard, and Roussel formed the Nabis group in 1892, and he created powerful, flatly decorative works influenced by ukiyo-e. His style then transformed into a more depictive style, and he painted images of his familiar interior and the scenes of Montmartre. These works led Vuillard and Bonnard to become known as the Intimists. He continued to show his works at the Bernheim-Jeune gallery and also entered works in the Salon des Artistes Independants and the Salon d'Automne. He became a member de l'Institut in 1937 and in 1938 he painted the Allegory Of Peace decorative paintings for the United Nations headquarters in Geneva.
