French painter, draftsman and sculptor, Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954) is a major figure of the twentieth century. With his acute sense of color, shapes and drawing, he constantly evolves his work until it reaches its peak with paper cut-outs.

The work :
Jacquy, 1947
Encre de Chine au pinceau sur papier, 49,5 × 36,8 cm
