About this work

This sketch shows a man’s head and shoulders turned slightly to the side. His hair is wavy and thick, and he’s wearing a high collar. The lines are loose and quick, like a sketch rather than a finished drawing. The artist focused on simple shapes and light shading to show form. The signature in the corner reads "Henri Matisse." Next, look up Matisse, Henri to see more of his work.
