Description
Maria Boursin—known as Marthe—became Bonnard’s romantic companion when they met in 1893 and eventually his wife in 1925. She was the model for this lithograph depicting a woman teetering up a stairway. The composition is devoid of background details; only the cobblestones and umbrella suggest the setting of a city street.- Private Collection, Switzerland
