The Met - Knitting in the Moonlight - 22.5" x 27.5" - Green

This Met x Wendover Art Group design is a reproduction of an original work of art in The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection. Marie Escudier Fontaine was the wife of a wealthy Parisian industrialist and art patron whose circle of friends included a number of writers, musicians, and artists. Redon executed this likeness, one of his finest and most finished pastels, when the Fontaines came to visit him and his wife at the seaside resort of Saint-Georges-de-Didonne on the southwest coast of France in September 1901.
