Description
Henri Matisse (1869-1954)
Marguerite au chat noir
1910
Oil on canvas
94 x 64 cm
This work stands out as one the moste stylised of the thirty or so portraits Matisse painted of his daughter. The frontal, hieratic pose adopted by the fifteen year-old Marguerite already augurs a certain seriousness, not to say courage: the high collar and brooch mask the tracheotomy scar of a child who faced illness from an early age.
