The Cook (La cuisiniere)

Edouard Vuillard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seated person with short grey or white hair, looking down at their hands. The person is wearing a blue top and a white apron. Beside them on a table are a deep blue and white bowl with a spoon, and several rounded objects that resemble plates or dough. Other items around include a dark bottle and stacked objects on a shelf to the left. The floor is warm brown, and the wall has a visual contrast between the lower brown part and the lighter upper part, with a blue and white strip on the right. To the right, there is a darkened area that appears to be a window or panel.
