COMMENTARY

UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.

In creating the series of paintings featuring interiors of his Paris apartment, Vallotton was inspired by seventeenth-century Dutch genre scenes and tried to recreate in modern era a sense of the quiet concentration of domestic life. The constant bustle of the city outside sickened the artist, which explains why this interior is so self-contained, completely cut off from the external world.
