Did you know?
This work was created during Matisse's 'Nice period,' a time when he moved away from the more radical abstraction of his early Fauve years toward a more serene, light-filled focus on domestic interiors. The patterned foreground reflects his obsession with exotic textiles and interior decorations, which became a hallmark of his middle-period work as he sought to capture the atmosphere of the French Riviera.
