Woman in Turban (Lorette) 1917

Henri Matisse's "Woman in Turban (Lorette)" from 1917 is a portrait of the artist's muse, Lorette. Matisse's signature style of Fauvism is on display with bold, flat colors and simplified forms. The emerald green background contrasts sharply with the white turban and blouse, emphasizing the subject's face and the decorative nature of the artwork. The painting's composition is both simple and elegant, further highlighting Matisse's talent for capturing his subjects' essence through color and line.
