Lot Essay

This drawing is from a series of works depicting Romanian blouses that Matisse executed in December 1939 in Nice, without a model. The same motif appears in La blouse roumaine, an oil on canvas now housed at The Centre Pompidou in Paris, which the artist begun around the same time as the present work and completed in April of 1940.
