In Self-portrait with cane and boater, Édouard Vuillard depicts himself with discreet elegance and a reserved inner nature.
Dressed simply, holding a cane and wearing a boater, the artist gazes at the viewer with an attentive and thoughtful look. The soft light, brown and ochre tones, and the neutral background give the whole an atmosphere of calm and restraint.
Vuillard does not seek here the spectacular staging, but rather the truth of his own presence, painted with sincerity and economy of means. This portrait is both an artistic affirmation and a moment of silent introspection.

Self-portrait with cane and boater reflects the aesthetics of the Nabis, a group of which Vuillard was a pillar: simplicity of forms, attention to light, and the importance of the spiritual dimension of the painting.

Édouard Vuillard: the painter of intimacy and sincerity
Édouard Vuillard (1868–1940) was an essential figure of the Nabis movement, alongside Pierre Bonnard and Maurice Denis. His works favor muted interiors, family scenes, and filtered light, but also the study of subtle emotions.
In this self-portrait, he highlights an image of the observant artist, both detached and deeply aware of his environment. It is a work of early maturity, marked by the search for balance between realism and stylization.
