About the piece

Painted in 1905, this vibrant work by Pierre Bonnard depicts Misia Sert, a famed muse and patron of the arts, during a voyage on Alfred Edwards' yacht. The composition uses a loose, expressive brushwork characteristic of Bonnard's style to evoke the airy, informal atmosphere of a summer day at sea, blending the intimate foreground study with the expansive maritime landscape.
