Pierre Bonnard often painted complex still lifes which included a figure. This example illustrates how he treats the features of the woman in the picture with less detail than the apples or the pattern on her shawl.
Rembrandt did the opposite in this portrait. The garment of the sitter is nothing more than a flat, out-of-focus shape of black, and the interior is suggested only by a few broad strokes.
This close-up shows the care he reserved for the face.
