Girl with a Fur Coat 1944

"Girl with a Fur Coat" (1944) by Henri Matisse, showcases the artist's signature style of bold colors and simplified forms. The composition is centered on a female figure, reclining in a chair, draped in a white gown. Her form is flattened and contoured with thick black lines, while the background is rendered in vibrant hues of red and orange. This expressive approach to figure and form exemplifies Matisse's mastery of color and line during his "cut-outs" period.
