Woman with a Hat - Henri Matisse

This is an expressive portrait of a woman wearing an exuberant hat, painted in bright, contrasting colours. The work is by Henri Matisse and is a well-known example of Fauvism.

The woman looks over her shoulder at the viewer. Her face is composed of unexpected areas of colour: green, blue, yellow and pink intermingle without realistic shading. The skin tones are not naturalistic, but used emotionally and decoratively. This gives the portrait a lively, almost shocking appearance.

The large hat above her head is richly decorated with flowers and broad strokes of colour in purple, red and blue. The background consists of loose, visible brushstrokes in pastel shades, giving the whole a dynamic and spontaneous look.

The painting exudes freedom and experimentation: form and colour are more important than realistic representation. This gives the portrait a powerful, modern and expressive look. This version of the famous work has been given a pastel frame. In addition, the name Herni Matisse has been added in letters at the bottom. iconic work captured the city of Amsterdam.

Peters'' work is widely sold and hangs on walls in various European countries.
