Dix Danseuses II 1925 - 1926

"Dix Danseuses II" is a charcoal drawing by Henri Matisse, created in 1925-1926. The artwork features a single female figure, likely a dancer, seated on a stool with her legs crossed and one foot resting on the stool's rung. Matisse's signature "Henri Matisse" appears in the lower right corner of the drawing. This drawing is a study for one of Matisse's most famous works, "The Dance (I)", which depicts a group of dancers in a similar pose. Matisse was known for his use of bold lines and color, and his paintings often feature simplified forms and figures.
