Neffe Degandt Fine Art, London.
In many of Bonnard’s interiors, he uses mirrors to expand or abstract
the space. In this drawing, he experiments with a figure and a pile
of clothes as it is reflected in a mirror, creating a separate deep space
which is a reflection of the action behind the artist and the viewer.
