This spare painting depicts a woman ironing a garment, while a sliver of light illuminates the side of her face and the cup held in her left hand. The subject belongs to a series of paintings of women ironing or sewing inspired by Édouard Vuillard’s close observation of his mother and sister making corsets and dresses in their crowded Parisian apartment.
