Specialist note

This rare lithograph dates from 1906, the year Matisse made his first lithographs, in the early years of Fauvism. The edition of this print was not usually signed, however the present impression carries an occasional signature of the period. The drawing upon which the lithograph was based was sold at Sotheby's, New York, 8 May 2013 ($125,000).
