Description
Painted in 1906, Félix Vallotton's 'Woman with the Jug' is a nude study, depicting a woman holding a green jug, rendered in the artist's signature stark and realistic style.
Félix Vallotton's 'Woman with the Jug', painted in 1906, presents a nude female figure holding a large, green jug. Vallotton, a Swiss artist associated with the Les Nabis group, was known for his stark realism and simplified forms. This painting exemplifies his style through its direct and unidealised depiction of the female form. The woman stands against a muted background of a pale sky and a dark, undefined horizon, which draws attention to her figure and the jug. Her dark hair contrasts with the pale tones of her skin, and her gaze is directed downwards, creating a sense of introspection. The jug, rendered in a striking shade of green, serves as a focal point, its smooth, rounded shape contrasting with the angularity of the woman's pose. Vallotton's use of light and shadow is subtle, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the figure and the jug. The composition is simple yet powerful, reflecting Vallotton's interest in capturing the essence of his subjects without unnecessary embellishment. The painting is a study in contrasts: the smoothness of the jug against the texture of the skin, the coolness of the green against the warmth of the flesh tones, and the stillness of the pose against the implied action of pouring water.

Artist Biography
Felix Vallotton
Vallotton was called the Foreign Nabi, which was both a joke and a diagnosis. He was Swiss, from a conservative family in Lausanne, and his temperament was cooler and more detached than the Parisian painters he joined in 1892. The Nabis were interested in mysticism and spiritual art. Vallotton was interested in what happens between people when they think nobody is watching.
He moved to Paris at seventeen and studied at the Academie Julian. His woodcuts, made in the 1890s, revived a medium that most printmakers had abandoned in favour of colour lithography. Working in pure black and white, he carved domestic interiors, street scenes, and a series called Intimites: ten prints depicting the private moments of married life, with an emphasis on adultery, deception and the particular loneliness of two people in the same room. The images are flat, graphic and psychologically sharp.
His support for Alfred Dreyfus, the Jewish officer falsely convicted of espionage, strained his relationship with several of the Nabis. He bought a Kodak camera in 1899 and began using photographs as source material for paintings, manipulating compositions into fictionalised versions of observed reality.
He married the daughter of the art dealer Alexandre Bernheim in 1899, which gave him financial security and access to the Parisian art market. He painted nudes, still lifes and landscapes with a smooth, almost clinical finish that disturbed viewers who expected warmth from pictures of naked women.
He wrote three novels and eight plays, none of which were published in his lifetime. His first novel, La Vie Meurtriere (The Murderous Life), appeared posthumously in 1930. He died the day after his sixtieth birthday.
