About the piece

Painted in 1896, Édouard Vuillard’s 'Intimacy' is a quintessential example of the Nabis movement's 'Intimist' style. The composition is defined by the overwhelming, rhythmic pattern of the floral wallpaper that nearly absorbs the seated figure, creating a sense of domestic enclosure and psychological depth typical of Vuillard's work from this period.
