About
This is one of Matisse’s most naturalistic portraits. The woman’s face is beautifully detailed and the shadows create a sense of three dimensionality. The viewer’s eye can get lost in the crosshatching lines and shading of Matisse’s pencil. He found drawing to be the most uninhibited medium and stated that: “Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.”

We Offer High Quality
Custom Framing
We use the highest quality wood in our modern shop to create custom frames, frame your print with precision-cut acid-free mat board, and mount it behind a UV-blocking semi-gloss plexiglass to protect your art from the sun, dust, pollution, heat, and humidity. Then we add finishing touches like a wall hanging mount, wall friendly bumpers and a protective backing.
