Interior with Pink Wallpaper II (Interieur aux tentures roses II) is a 1896 ink by Ambroise Vollard, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a room with bold blocks of color. A red wallpaper covers the left side, while the right side is mostly yellow and blue. In the center, a figure stands near a doorway, their face blurred. The walls and furniture are outlined in thick, dark lines, and the colors are flat with no shading. The artist used simple shapes and bright colors to make the scene feel almost like a design. The image looks unfinished, with rough edges and no fine details.
