The “Eastern” footprint in the works of Matisse is unusually bright. Impressed by the trip to the same Algeria, completed in 1906, the artist became interested in linear ornaments of the Muslim East; This, along with certain theoretical achievements, is perhaps the main source of its total decorativeness and monumentality. There is an echo of these trips and in the presented expressive portrait, built on contrast – shapes, colors, contours, background, etc.
