A beautiful and rare lithograph by Henri Matisse depicting a reclining female nude draped with a scarf. The composition highlights Matisse’s unmistakable line work, where a few confident contours capture both movement and calm with remarkable clarity.
The work originates from the rare 1936 Cahiers d’Art portfolio Dessins de Matisse, which presented a selection of the artist’s drawings to an international audience. Signed and dated in the plate, the lithograph reflects the elegant simplicity that characterises Matisse’s graphic works of the 1930s.
Both intimate and refined, the composition balances sensuality and restraint, allowing the graceful curves of the figure to unfold with quiet elegance across the page.
