Woman Reading
Painting by Henri Matisse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Woman Reading (La Liseuse) is an oil-on-board painting executed in 1895 by the French artist Henri Matisse.[1] It is displayed at the Musée Matisse, in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, having been on loan from the Centre Pompidou since 2002.[2] It shows a woman, dressed in black, seated and reading, with her back to the viewer, in the calmness of a somewhat cluttered room. Matisse incorporated a self-portrait into the painting in the form of a framed drawing hanging on the wall at the upper left.[1]
