This is a painting by French painter, Pierre Bonnard. He had a very turbulent relationship with his wife/muse, Marte. Like Wyeth and Katz, he painted his favorite subject over and over, but Bonnard was a little different. He always painted Marte at the same age, when they first fell in love. Even as she got older, he painted her as a young woman, often in her bath, and it continued that way even after she died. He always saw her the same way.
