The Dining Room, Vernonnet

1916
Not on view
The rich colors and iridescent surfaces of Bonnard's interior contrast with the plain, two-story house that the artist purchased in 1912, Ma Roulotte (My Caravan). Because of the poor health of his companion, Marthe, they spent increasing amounts of time there, in the valley of the Seine.
