1931, Pierre Bonnard, The White Cupboard -- Phillips Collection (Washington) (special exhibition)
From the exhibition label: When the Bonnards acquired Le Bosquet in 1926, there were alterations and renovations to be made. One of the most important of these was to convert two small rooms on the ground floor into one large room that served as a space for living and dining. At one end of the room, white wooden cupboards were installed on either side of the fireplace. This painting shows the three cabinets to the right of the fireplace. Marthe is busy in front of the middle cupboard, while the left-hand cupboard stands open. Glowing lightbulbs on the ceiling cast the shadow of the glass-paned central door onto the closed cupboard at right.
