Lot Essay

`As time passes Matisse indulges his love of the Orient. The atmosphere becomes scented and the setting exotic. He delights in playing off the curves of his model against an austerely striped background or enveloping her in luxurious drapes; in emphasising the softness of her body seen through diaphanous layers and in expressing the glint of jewels’ (Susan Lambert, Matisse Lithographs, Universe Books, New York, 1982, p. 8).
