About the piece
Painted around 1912, this evocative work depicts Lucy Hessel, a frequent subject and close friend of French artist Édouard Vuillard. The portrait showcases Vuillard’s Nabis-influenced technique, using layered, textural brushstrokes and a harmonious palette of greys and warm tones to create a sense of quiet intimacy and timeless elegance.
