La Japonaise: Woman beside the Water by Henri Matisse

Print on Cotton Canvas

Painted in 1905, La Japonaise reflects Matisse’s early fascination with Japanese art and design, as well as his growing embrace of bold color and expressive form. The woman, dressed in a patterned robe, sits peacefully beside a flowing body of water, surrounded by a serene, dreamlike landscape. With simplified lines and vivid tones, Matisse blends Eastern influence with his own modern style, creating a scene that feels both intimate and otherworldly—a quiet meditation on beauty, nature, and stillness.
