Painted in Nice. Matisse’s favorite model from 1920 to 1927, Henriette Darricarrère, a musician who had also trained as a ballet dancer, excelled in the different roles she was asked to play, from Oriental odalisque to domestic companion, musician and dancer. Here he paints her as she plays piano. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/)
