Created in 1930, Personnage de gauche is a rare and important original lithograph by Henri Matisse, one of the defining masters of twentieth-century art. Executed on fine Vélin d'Arches paper, this work exemplifies Matisse's extraordinary command of line: fluid, economical, and charged with quiet authority. The figure is rendered with the deceptive simplicity that marks his most celebrated graphic work, each mark deliberate, each contour alive.

This lithograph belongs to a strictly limited edition of just 75 impressions, hand-signed and numbered by the artist in pencil. Works from this period represent Matisse at the height of his graphic powers, and examples from editions of this scale are increasingly rare on the market.

Matisse's works are held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Musée Matisse (Nice), and the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), among many others worldwide.

Personnage de gauche is offered ready to ship and is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a museum-quality original lithograph by one of the great figures of modern art.
