Henri Matisse Portrait of a Woman (Attributed style/print)

This item is a framed line drawing or print depicting a stylized portrait of a woman, rendered in a minimalist, continuous line style characteristic of modern master Henri Matisse, specifically evocative of his works from the late 1930s or 1940s. The artwork features a young woman with wavy hair, large almond-shaped eyes, and a ruffled collar, executed in black ink or charcoal-style lines on a light-colored paper. A signature that appears to read 'Henri Matisse' followed by a '44' or similar date notation is visible in the lower right corner of the image area. The piece is housed in a simple, metallic silver-toned frame with a light cream-colored mat border. Notably, the paper shows signs of age-related toning/browning toward the upper edges and significant reflection/glare on the glass surface indicating it is not museum-grade anti-reflective glass. The matting appears slightly uneven, and there is a faint line or crease visible in the paper near the bottom. The overall aesthetic is one of French Modernism, emphasizing fluid form and economical use of line. Without physical inspection of paper texture, watermarks, or print plates, it is impossible to distinguish between an original lithograph, a vintage print, or a contemporary reproduction, though the yellowing suggests some age.
