Henri Matisse was a French artist who is widely considered to be one of the most important painters of the 20th century. He was a leader of the Fauvism movement, which emphasized the use of vivid colors and bold brushstrokes to create highly expressive works of art. Matisse's work is characterized by its bright, vibrant colors and its use of simplified forms and patterns. He often painted scenes of everyday life, such as portraits, still lifes, and landscapes, but he also created many works of a more abstract and experimental nature.

The piece is framed with a vintage hand made frame with small decorative patterns in different colors and with gold and with a light passepartout
