Les Tuileries

1895

Edouard Vuillard

Associated Names

Edouard Vuillard

Artist, French, 1868 - 1940

This is a drawing of abstract forms resembling figures standing near a railing. The composition includes tree foliage, a vertical textured form resembling a rock or wall, and a seating area with two benches. The figures are drawn in thick, textured strokes and blur the boundary between human form and abstract shapes. A lattice design decorates the railing they stand by, creating an impression of an outdoor setting.

The image depicts a young girl shown from the waist up. She is seated sideways with her arms resting on an unseen surface. Her head is tilted towards her left shoulder, while her gaze is directed towards the viewer. She has delicate facial features, wide eyes, soft cheeks, and dark, curly hair partially covered by a floppy hat. The girl wears a long-sleeved garment with a soft, flowing texture. The background is plain with vertical lines. The style of the image suggests it is a sketch or charcoal drawing with a focus on soft tones and shading. — Petite fille (Young Girl)

Jacques-Emile Blanche

1895

This is a photograph of a cover page. The page is a plain beige color with minimal text. The text is located in the upper right quadrant, printed in a serif font, and reads '"l'Epreuve" Album d'Art'. The cover exhibits a simple, minimalist design with no other text, images, or graphic elements present. The texture of the paper suggests it might be of a vintage or aged quality. The edges of the page are slightly worn. — L'Épreuve (album 6, deluxe edition)

Maurice Dumont

1895

The image depicts a young child, seated with their upper body visible. The child has soft, curly hair under a large, round hat with subtle decorations. Their facial expression is calm, with soft eyes looking to the left. The child wears a flowing garment with long sleeves and a high, pleated collar. Their arms rest on the surface in front of them. The background shows an indoor setting with a softly textured wall and draped fabric. — Petite fille (Young Girl)
