Description
This color print on paper depicts a seated woman in a modernist style, characterized by bold lines and a palette of pink, red, gray, and green. The subject wears a highly decorative bodice with red and black patterned accents and a full skirt marked with a grid pattern. The composition includes abstract architectural elements in the background, such as a gridded wall and gestural gray forms. The work is presented within a multi-tiered, deep beveled white mat and protected by glass. It is housed in an ornate, rococo-style frame featuring heavily carved scrolling foliate and shell motifs with a cream and gilt finish.
The artwork contains two distinct hand-written inscriptions. In the lower right corner, a black ink inscription reads AP 1/1, identifying the piece as an artist proof. In the lower left corner, the work is signed and dated MATISSE 36 in a gray-brown medium.
