ボナールは装飾的な効果を十分に発揮できる大構図を好んで描いた。近年寄贈されたこの作品は、当時のパリで大画商として名高かったベルネーム＝ジューヌの邸宅のために制作された4点のほぼ同サイズの作品の一つである。 平面的、絵画的な効果を重視したナビ派の画家として出発し、生涯に渡って色彩と光に溢れた輝かしい作品を描きつづけたボナールであるが、純粋に室内装飾を目的とした作品は意外に少ない。その意味で、ベルネーム＝ジューヌ家の装飾画は貴重な作例の一つと考えられる。4点の作品はいずれも、フランス各地の風物をモティーフに、自然と文化の恵みを半ば象徴的に表そうとしている。西洋美術館所蔵作品は連作4点の中で唯一、いわゆる都市における「現代生活」の主題を扱っている点に特徴がある。画面に描かれているのはパリ郊外、セーヌ川下流のヌィイーに架かる橋の上の光景であろう。19世紀ごろから発達したこの地域には近代的大工場が多く、ボナールは、生き生きとした現代の都市生活を賛美しようとしてこの画題を選んだものと思われる。 橋の上を行き交う人々の傍らには、汗を流して働く人々が描かれている。また川面には煙突から煙をはく船も見える。前景に大きくモティーフを扱い、中景を簡略にして遠景に視線を導くダイナミックな構成は、他の3点にも共通して見られる手法である。（出典: 国立西洋美術館名作選. 東京, 国立西洋美術館, 2006. cat. no. 110）

Bonnard liked to paint large-scale canvases that fully exploited their decorative effects. This painting was donated to the NMWA in the early 1990s and it is one of a series of four paintings produced to decorate the house of Bernheim-Jeune, a major art dealer in Paris. Bonnard first emerged as a painter of the Nabis with its reverence for the planar and the painterly. He created luminescent works filled with light and color throughout his life. In spite of this trend in his works, surprisingly few of his paintings are intended as purely interior decoration. Thus the decorative paintings for the Bernheim-Jeune house are an important part of his oeuvre. The four paintings depict scenes from various French regions as they present semi-symbolic images of the bounty of nature and culture. This work in the NMWA is the only one of the four paintings in the series that presents the "city" and the subject of "contemporary life." The scene is set on a bridge in Neuilly, downstream from Paris on the Seine. This area was developed in the 19th century, the site of many factories, and Bonnard is thought to have chosen this setting as the expression of his appreciation of vibrant contemporary urban life. In addition to the figures walking across the bridge, Bonnard also painted an image of sweaty laborers. Smoke pours from the smokestack of a boat making its way down the river. The dynamic composition, which is made up of enlarged foreground elements and an abbreviated middle ground that leads the eye to the distant view, is shared with the other three works in the series.
