Provenance
Henri Marie Petiet, Paris
Erika Meyerovich Gallery, San Francisco
Private collection, New York
This unusual example allows a rare glimpse into Matisse's creative process as he made last-minute revisions to his bon-a-tirer proof, instructing his printer to remove a line above the model's right arm, and to soften a line at the top of the cross-hatched background. From the collection of renowned French artist, dealer and collector, Henri Marie Petiet.
