Une femme 1942

"Une femme," a 1942 pencil drawing by Henri Matisse, captures the essence of a woman's profile. Matisse, a prominent figure in the Fauvist and Modernist movements, employed his characteristic flowing lines and simplified forms to create a sense of dynamism and energy in his depiction of a woman. The piece's simplicity and focus on form showcase Matisse's mastery of line and his ability to convey emotion through minimal details.
