Did you know?
Maurice Denis, a prominent member of the Nabis group, often emphasized that a painting should be "essentially a flat surface covered with colors assembled in a certain order," rather than a mere window to reality. This work, featuring Eva Meurier, a frequent model for the artist, showcases his decorative approach and the influence of Japanese prints, characteristic of the Nabis' style.
