Matisse œuvres d’art series: Jeune femme en rose

This stone lithograph is based upon the elegant ink drawing, Jeune femme en rose, by Henri Matisse. While the lithograph was published in 1946, the drawing was created in 1942. This lithograph created by Matisse was not a reproduction of the drawing, rather a reinterpretation done is his chosen medium. This piece reflects Matisse’s continued innovation and his enduring ability to capture the beauty of the human form with timeless elegance.
