Tête de femme 

"Tête de femme" is a portrait by Henri Matisse, one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century. The painting depicts a woman's head and shoulders, her face partially obscured by a white turban. Matisse's bold use of color and simplified forms are characteristic of his Fauvist style, which emphasized expressive use of color and a departure from traditional representational painting. The painting's vibrant colors and simplified forms, particularly the prominent use of a purple background, are hallmarks of Matisse's artistic language.
