This wonderfully atmospheric evocation of Paris at
the beginning of the 1920’s, was painted for the Parisian restaurant ‘Le Grand
Teddy’ on 24 Rue Caumartin, as one of three oval panels commissioned by the restaurant’s
architect Francis Jourdain.
Whilst the name and design of Le Grand Teddy were
American-inspired, the atmosphere in Vuillard’s three compositions is Parisian
– none more so than Femme au Restaurant.This wonderfully atmospheric evocation of Paris at
