About the piece

Painted in 1901, this luminous work by Maurice Denis exemplifies the Nabis movement's interest in flat patterns and domestic intimacy. The scene depicts a quiet morning moment, where the rhythmic patterns of the figures' clothing and the checkered tablecloth contrast beautifully with the bright, pointillist-style view of the harbor visible through the window.
