This 1950–51 lithograph by Henri Matisse depicts the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child in a standing pose, rendered in the artist's characteristically simplified and expressive linear style. Created late in Matisse's career, the work exemplifies his ability to convey spiritual subject matter through minimal but eloquent line work, a technique he refined extensively during his final years. The print was produced in an edition of 200 on Chine appliqué mounted on Arches paper, and this impression is signed in pencil and numbered, preserving its status as an authenticated work from the original edition.
