About this artwork

This portrait by Henri Matisse shows Henriette Darricarrère, who sits in front of an aquarium. Other details in the scene include a cone and a branch, which share the space with her and the glass tank. The work is oil on canvas and dates from around 1921 to 1922. It belongs to the Barnes Foundation in the United States. Matisse was a French artist known for his use of colour and his fluid, original draughtsmanship, and although he also drew, made prints and sculpted, he is known primarily as a painter.

On your wall: A figure study with a quiet, domestic subject, it suits a living room, study or bedroom where a modern portrait can sit calmly on the wall.
