Drawn to the southern light, Matisse had been spending more time in Nice, where he developed his modern brand of 'Orientalism' in his depictions of women in patterned interiors. These warm hues are characteristic of his Nice period, and they vividly contrast with Henriette's red lips and turquoise bow—bold colors that match the intensity of her sensual yet authoritative gaze.⠀ .⠀ This portrait owes a debt to Pierre-Auguste Renoir, whom Matisse had visited in nearby Cagnes-sur-Mer in 1917. Renoir inspired him to take a more classical and realistic approach to painting, while loosening up his brushwork in the airier, Impressionist manner seen here.⠀ .⠀ Philanthropist and collector Caroline Mormon Fesler acquired the work and gifted it to the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields in 1961. It is now being sold to benefit the museum's art acquisition fund.⠀ .⠀ Henri Matisse (1869-1954), 'Jeune fille assise, robe jaune.' Painted in 1921-1922.
