Henri Matisse Lithograph Signed Contract Hand

HENRI MATISSE ''The painter and the model'' The graphic work measures 45 x 60 cm on a full sheet. "The drawings of the 1930s are considered by the master to be his greatest masterpieces. These drawings depict women reclining on backgrounds decorated with fabrics adorned with arabesques and are miracles of pure lines that best encapsulate the sphere of female sensuality. In the reflections and mirrors Matisse seems to want to imprint the soul of his models in the finest and most virtuous features."
