Portrait de Lorette au turban is a 1917 oil by Henri Matisse, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair. She's wearing a white hat and a yellow robe with orange spots. Her dark hair is down, and she's looking straight ahead. The chair has a woven back, and there are green leaves and orange flowers behind her. The woman's face is painted with soft, gentle brushstrokes. Her eyes are dark, and her eyebrows are thin. Her lips are a pale pink. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity. If you like this style, you might want to check out more works by Henri Matisse.
