In this monumental canvas that Fernand Leger worked on from 1921–22, three seemingly self-possessed women, flanked by a black cat, lounge in an interior decorated with modern furnishings. Their bodies – modeled so that they seem to reflect the light – appear as metallic as the stylized furniture that surrounds them. Leger orchestrated the interlocking components of this busy composition as if it were a machine, imparting an industrial sensibility into the domestic sphere.
