Description

This charming scene of a nanny and her three charges extends across four panels meant to be mounted as a folding screen. Pierre Bonnard emulated the solidly colored flat forms of Japanese color woodcut prints, which he collected. He featured the screen in his first solo exhibition at Paris's prestigious Galeries Durand-Ruel in 1896.
Four panels horizontally combine to display a print in muted colors of a woman, children, and dogs in the foreground playing with large hoops. In the background, there are three women standing next to each other. At the top edge of the panels, there are depictions of many horse-drawn carriages, one after the other.
