Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 18.8 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 21.2 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 41.3 × 35.9 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Pierre Bonnard's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 57.2 × 49 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Dallas Museum of Art, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Pierre Bonnard’s Nude Against a Yellow Background (c.1924) is a masterclass in the intimate, almost voyeuristic portrayal of the female form, delivered with a dreamy, ethereal quality that characterizes much of Bonnard’s work. The painting is suffused with a vibrant yellow hue that dominates the composition, imbuing the scene with a sense of warmth and domesticity. This yellow isn’t just a background; it’s an atmosphere, an emotional temperature that Bonnard sets to envelop the viewer.

In the foreground, we see a nude woman, bent over, perhaps engaged in the simple act of drying her legs. Her pose is unselfconscious, capturing a private moment that feels utterly natural. Bonnard’s brushwork is loose, almost hazy, allowing the forms to blur slightly into one another, as if viewed through the lens of memory. There’s a distinct softness to the way the paint is applied—flesh tones gently merging with the surrounding yellows and blues, creating a harmonious, yet slightly disorienting, sense of space.

The background, with its wash of yellow, punctuated by hints of a bed or perhaps a towel, creates a cocoon-like environment. The entire scene feels as if it’s bathed in the late afternoon sun, the kind that casts long shadows and fills the room with a golden glow. Bonnard isn’t just painting a scene; he’s capturing a feeling—a fleeting moment of quiet solitude, where the boundaries between the figure and the space she inhabits are delightfully blurred. The result is both intimate and expansive, a testament to Bonnard’s ability to turn the everyday into something deeply evocative.
