The Garden at Vaucresson

Stephen Ongpin Fine Art

Datable to around 1920, the present sheet was drawn in the residential suburb of Vaucresson, west of Paris. Vuillard’s close friends, the Belgian-born art dealer Jos Hessel and his wife Lucy, had bought a villa at Vaucresson in 1917, and the artist and his mother began renting a small house in the same town the following year. Vuillard produced numerous drawings and pastels at Vaucresson, and in particular of the well-tended garden outside his home and studio.
