The Klepetar-Fallek Collection also features Pierre Bonnard’s Femme se déshabillant (estimate $1.5/2.5 million), a work of startlingly modern perspective that captures the fleeting moment of the artist’s muse, wife, and primary model for decades, Marthe de Méligny, undressing for a bath. Such fleeting scenes of intimacy abound in Bonnard’s oeuvre. A keen observer of daily life and quotidian ritual, Bonnard preferred to paint from sketches, memory and imagination, rather than directly from life. First painted circa 1908 and enlivened by the artist around 1930, Femme se déshabillant stands as one of the artist’s most emblematic portraits of Marthe. Set within a dreamy, voyeuristic setting, the work remains a quietly passionate and utterly modern portrait.
