Henri Matisse

Associated Names

Henri Matisse

Artist, French, 1869 - 1954

The image shows the back of a person from head to toe, standing with hands on hips before a mirror. The person is wearing a ballet costume and their hair is styled neatly. They have a beaded necklace around their neck. In the mirror, their front view is reflected, showing their face with soft expressions. The setting appears to be indoors, with the mirror as the main feature, and a framed sketch partially visible in the background.
