Pencil and sanguine drawing on paper by Henri Matisse signed and dated 1952 sized 24.7 cm x 33.0 cm
Acquired from auction house in 2012. Previous provenance is available.
Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a late 20th century forgery in the manner of a Matisse pencil drawing, bearing a signature and the date 1952 upper right corner. The Matisse Archives or recently introduced Artificial Intelligence might help to confirm that this is a forgery of unfortunately only decorative value.
