About the piece
In this 1904 work, Édouard Vuillard captures his fellow artist and brother-in-law, Ker-Xavier Roussel, in a moment of quiet concentration. Typical of the Nabis style, the painting emphasizes texture and pattern, with the dry application of oil on cardboard creating a soft, matte surface that integrates the figure into the intimate domestic space.
