This print presents the type of domestic scene that Ker-Xavier Roussel and his Nabi colleagues favored during the 1890s. Artists in this circle used simplified forms and bold color to depict subject matter drawn from contemporary Paris, both domestic and public. Created in the year that Roussel married Marie, the sister of his close friend Édouard Vuillard, this lithograph may be a portrait of his new wife. The figure appears fully absorbed in her task, but also completely isolated from the outside world in starkly contrasting light and dark tones. This print is the first of several in which Ker-Xavier Roussel collaborated with renowned master printmaker Edward Ancourt.
