Original lithograph printed in black ink on China paper. Proof impression, one of only five such proofs, annotated 'Essai' in pencil lower left, apart from the numbered edition of 60. Sheet size: 36.5 x 27.9 cm (14 3/8 x 11 in) Image size: 27.3 x 18.4 cm (10 3/4 x 7 1/4 in) Frame size: 62.2 x 49.8 x 3.8 cm (24 1/2 x 19 5/8 x 1 1/2 in)// Young Woman Sitting with Bouquet of Flower is an exceptionally rare lithograph from 1923, when Matisse's graphic line was reaching the fluid economy that would define his mature style. A seated young woman holds a generous bouquet, her pose at once casual and composed, rendered in confident black strokes on delicate China paper. As one of only five such proof impressions — annotated 'Essai' in pencil — this sheet represents the most intimate tier of the edition, capturing the artist's first thoughts in their purest form. The work bridges Matisse's early Fauvist energy and his later decorative mastery, making it a landmark in the evolution of twentieth-century drawing.

What is Réalités Nouvelles?
Réalités Nouvelles means new realities and refers to an exhibiting society founded in 1939 in Paris by Sonia Delaunay. The Salon des Réalités Nouvelles was dedicated to promoting abstract art, which it considered to be a new reality because it does not imitate the existing physical world. The movement emphasized that abstract art creates its own reality, independent of the external world, and played a significant role in the development and recognition of abstract art in the mid-20th century.
