The Tuileries Garden (Le jardin des Tuileries)

Edouard Vuillard · published 1896 · color lithograph with graphite ·  Accession ID  1975.17.1

This is a photograph of an exterior staircase against a wooden structure. The composition captures a set of wooden stairs attached to a rustic wall with visible wood grain and a small window consisting of four panes. The stairs cast long, angular shadows on the wall. The photograph emphasizes the geometric lines and textures of the wooden planks, with elements including a pipe running vertically along the wall and a suggestion of architectural details in the background. The image exhibits a stark play between light and shade, highlighting the architectural elements of the structure.

The image contains angular shapes and zigzagging lines creating an abstract composition. A central figure resembles a dancer holding a fan, surrounded by shapes resembling musicians playing instruments. Triangle-like formations suggest an oil derrick. Faces with elongated features and theatrical mask-like expressions are depicted with angular lines echoing the style of the composition.
