Woman with an Umbrella
Pierre Bonnard1894
The Cleveland Museum of Art
Cleveland, United States
Maria Boursin—known as Marthe—became Bonnard’s romantic companion when they met in 1893 and eventually his wife in 1925. She was the model for this lithograph depicting a woman teetering up a stairway. The composition is devoid of background details; only the cobblestones and umbrella suggest the setting of a city street.
