The use of soft, yet vivid brush strokes captures the concentration and tranquility of the seamstress. The light seems to envelope her figure and the objects around her, creating a harmony that is characteristic of Vuillard's approach to color and form.The setting is a modest room; details like the sewing basket, and glimpses of furniture enhance the sense of reality in the artwork. Muted yet rich tones fill the canvas, suggesting both the simplicity and depth of everyday life. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the textured application of paint, invite us to appreciate the ordinary moments and the beauty found therein."La couture" is a beautiful testament to Vuillard's mastery in portraying the serene moments of domestic life with emotional depth and artistic sophistication.

Jean-Édouard Vuillard (11 November 1868 – 21 June 1940) was a French painter, decorative artist, and printmaker. From 1891 through 1900, Vuillard was a prominent member of the avant garde artistic group Les Nabis, creating paintings that assembled areas of pure color. His interior scenes, influenced by Japanese prints, explored the spatial effects of flattened planes of color, pattern, and form. As a decorative artist, Vuillard painted theater sets, panels for interior decoration, and designed plates and stained glass. After 1900, when the Nabis broke up, Vuillard adopted a more realistic style, approaching landscapes and interiors with greater detail and vivid colors. In the 1920s and 1930s, he painted portraits of prominent figures in French industry and the arts in their familiar settings.

Vuillard was influenced by Paul Gauguin, among other post-impressionist painters.
