An original heliogravure print after a charcoal drawing by Henri Matisse, dated 1936. Printed in 1939 – while Matisse was still alive – as part of a curated edition of his drawings published in Paris. Produced by Braun & Cie, a renowned French printing house known for their technical mastery in heliogravure reproductions. The print faithfully preserves the rich shading and confident line work of the original drawing. The composition shows a frontal portrait of a woman, her hair softly framing her face, with a smaller, simplified sketch of her head to the right. The combination of the detailed rendering and the linear sketch offers a glimpse into Matisse’s process and his ability to move between precision and abstraction.
