Created in 1891, Study for Afternoon in the Garden (Étude pour l’après-midi au jardin) is a captivating early work by French artist Pierre Bonnard, painted during his prominent active years with Les Nabis (The Nabis). Depicting a peaceful domestic scene of figures gathering in a sunlit garden, this study highlights Bonnard’s groundbreaking approach to flattened spatial composition, decorative patterning, and subtle, harmonious color tones.
