Le Déjeuner is a 1898 oil by Édouard Vuillard, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting depicts an elderly woman in a red dress sitting on a chair. She has grey hair and is holding a white blanket or cloth. The woman is positioned in front of a table with a white cloth and a chair with a blue and white striped back. The background of the painting is a deep red color. The woman's face is blurred, and her features are not clearly defined. The painting has a soft, muted quality to it, with gentle brushstrokes and subtle color gradations. The overall effect is one of quiet intimacy and domesticity. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this painting, look up Édouard Vuillard.
