Intimité

An figure sleeps in a red iron bed, barely visible beneath white bedding and blue linens. The bed's red bars cut vertical lines across the center of the composition. A blue wall and a green-paned window are visible behind, with a yellow wall or door at the left. A striped mattress in red and white shows through the lower bars. A patterned rug or carpet fills the lower right corner. The painting is a small, quiet domestic scene — the kind of subject Vuillard returned to constantly, where the geometry of furniture and textile pattern structures the composition as much as any figure.
