Did You Know?

Bonnard loved dogs and owned dachshunds throughout his life. He invariably named his dogs "Poucette."

Description

Dining scenes are a recurrent theme in Bonnard’s paintings. While the locations changed throughout his career, there were several constants: artfully arranged still lifes, white tablecloths that seem to glow with kaleidoscopic color, and the presence of a close circle of family and friends that often included canine and feline members of the household. Here, a compotier, or long-stemmed dish, of fruit presides at the center of the table, joined by a carafe, two wine glasses, and several dishes displaying cherries, plums, oranges, and a round of cheese. At the bottom left edge, is a profile of a cat who stares down a dachshund on the right.
