| Description |  |
When he was only in his mid-twenties, Vuillard was engaged in filling important commissions for large-scale, interior decorations. As he matured, he continued to work in this mode, making a quiet claim for its validity even while World War I raged across Europe. In Foliage—Oak Tree and Fruit Seller, Vuillard took advantage of distemper's quick drying time, building up thick layers of paint that have an almost stucco-like texture.
