46 Henri Matisse (French,
1869-1954)
Jeune Femme Assise (Young Woman Seated), 1942. Pen and ink, signed
and dated "12/42" lower left, Pierre Matisse Gallery
label attached to frame verso, 51.8 x 39.8cm. Framed.
Label includes handwritten artist's name, date, title and stock
No. ST2069 in red ink. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity
from the Matisse Archives, dated January 24 2005 with registration
No. H132.
Provenance:
Matisse's estate to Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York; then
acquired by a private collector in Connecticut in 1959; thereafter
held in a private collection in Melbourne. Acquired by the present
owner in Sydney in 2008.
Wanda de Guebriant, who is a recognised expert on the work of
Matisse and archivist for the artist's estate, states that this
drawing relates to a painting by Matisse, entitled Monique. It
is more than possible that the sitter of this drawing was a student
nurse by the name of Monique Bourgeois, who met Matisse in 1942,
when he advertised for a nurse to assist him with his recovery
from cancer. During this time, she sat for several of Matisse's
drawings and paintings. In 1943 she entered the Dominican order
and became known as Sister Jacques-Marie. Matisse's abiding friendship
with her lead to his beautiful work on the Rosary Chapel in Vence,
France.
