Painted in 1892, Dusk, or A Round of Croquet (Crépuscule ou La Partie de Croquet) is one of the most celebrated early works by French master Pierre Bonnard, created during his height as a founder of Les Nabis (The Nabis). Deeply influenced by Japonism, Bonnard depicts family members enjoying a game of croquet in the garden of his family home at Grand-Lemps. With its flattened perspective, decorative white-clad figures dancing in the background, and harmonious twilight palette, this large-scale masterpiece ($162.5 \times 130\text{ cm}$) exemplifies late 19th-century avant-garde art. The original oil on canvas resides in the prestigious Musée d’Orsay in Paris, France.
