Small Odalisque in a Purple Robe by Henri Matisse

Print on Cotton Canvas

In this sensual and intimate painting from 1937, Matisse revisits the theme of the odalisque—a reclining female figure often portrayed in exotic or luxurious settings. Draped in a flowing purple robe, the woman appears relaxed and self-assured, surrounded by richly patterned textiles and warm tones. The composition highlights Matisse’s love for decorative detail and his ability to balance bold color with graceful line. It’s a celebration of beauty, comfort, and the expressive power of color.
