Line Drawing Print of a Woman's Face

This item is a modern art print, likely a lithograph or serigraph, featuring a minimalist line drawing of a woman's face. The artwork is characterized by bold, flowing black lines forming the contours of the face, hair, eyes, nose, and mouth, with a distinctive hand resting against one cheek. The style is reminiscent of Henri Matisse's late-career cut-outs and brush and ink drawings, emphasizing simplicity and expression through form. The image itself is rendered on a creamy or pale beige background, which is then matted with a wider border of bright white cardstock, suggesting it might be ready for framing. The overall dimensions of the visible artwork within the mat appear to be approximately 8-10 inches in height. In the lower right corner of the print, there are handwritten markings in pencil or a light-colored ink. These marks are consistent with an artist's signature, edition number, and possibly a date or title. Specifically, 'H. Matisse' is discernible, along with '3/5' indicating it is the third print from a very small edition of five, suggesting an original or limited-edition print rather than a mass-produced poster. Below this, another line of text is visible, but difficult to fully decipher. The print appears to be in good condition with no visible tears, creases, or significant discoloration. The lines are crisp and the colors (black and pale beige) are consistent. The craftsmanship, particularly the bold, confident lines, indicates a high level of artistic skill.
