A delicate etching by Henri Matisse, *Fillette, blouse fleurie* captures the image of a young girl rendered with the artist's characteristically fluid and expressive line work. The floral blouse referenced in the title is suggested through Matisse's elegant, economy of mark-making, conveying pattern and texture with minimal yet precise strokes. Printed on wove paper with full margins, the work exemplifies Matisse's mastery of the etching medium, balancing simplicity and intimacy.
