Lot Essay

Matisse places this seated nude within a richly patterned setting, underscoring his lifelong dialogue with textiles as both subject and structure. Printed on chine, the lithograph finds a supple surface, allowing the ink to sit with particular richness and tonal depth. The work demonstrates Matisse’s mastery of the medium, uniting figure and textile through line and form.
