Jos and Lucie Hessel in the Small Salon, Rue de Rivoli

ca. 1900–1905

Not on view

Vuillard enjoyed a close rapport with a number of his patrons. In the 1890s he befriended Thadée and Misia Natanson, but after they divorced in 1904, he shifted his attachment to the art dealer Jos Hessel and his wife, Lucie, who received the artist every evening at six. This is one of many informal, intimate paintings of the Hessels set in their Paris apartment.
