Henri Matisse

Associated Names

Henri Matisse

Artist, French, 1869 - 1954

The image shows a sketch of a reclining nude female figure. The person is leaning back in a relaxed position with one leg bent at the knee and the other extended. Her arms are resting around her midsection, and she is wearing bracelets on each wrist. The background features minimal details like faint lines suggesting a bed or cushioned surface, and vertical lines that could hint at paneling or a wall.
