In Le Shako à l’aigrette (Lili Lamy), Édouard Vuillard immerses us in the cozy and refined universe of late 19th-century Paris. The painting depicts Lili Lamy, a close friend of the Nabis circle, wearing a military shako adorned with an aigrette, a symbol of elegance and whimsy.
Under Vuillard's delicate touch, the portrait becomes a scene of atmosphere rather than a simple representation: the subdued light, the softness of fabrics, and the subtlety of tones create a suspended moment, imbued with mystery and intimacy.
The female figure, both real and idealized, embodies this poetry of everyday life dear to the artist.

Édouard Vuillard: intimacy at the heart of art
Édouard Vuillard (1868–1940) is one of the major painters of the Nabis movement, a group of artists seeking to renew painting by emphasizing emotions, decorative motifs, and inner life.
With Vuillard, the characters blend into their environments; the walls, clothing, and objects become an integral part of the composition.
In Le Shako à l’aigrette (Lili Lamy), he combines elegance and intimacy, transforming a simple scene into a sensitive, vibrant, and harmonious painting. The attention to texture and light reveals his unique talent for capturing the silent beauty of domestic life.
