Henriette Darricarrère was Henri Matisse's favorite model during his time in Nice (French Riviera). She inspired the painter for numerous depictions of her athletic body, drawings, paintings of odalisques, and sculptures. From 1925 to 1930, Matisse focused on creating her portrait in sculpture, painting, and drawing, bringing to life a figure full of character and sensuality like this typical drawing.
