This listing is for “Esquisse main et marteau” circa 1938 by Henri Matisse (1869-1954) pictured above. About this work
:
An excellent, original pencil drawing by legendary French artist Henri Matisse (1869-1954).
Titled “Esquisse main et marteau”, this work depicts a hand holding a hammer in a swinging motion. Dating to circa 1938, it is produced with Matisse’s signature fluid draftsmanship. The simplification of shapes and lines in this sketch foreshadows his famous cut-outs that he created later in life.
The work is matted and housed in a custom wood frame behind UV filtering acrylic glazing.
Please note, there are numerous fake Matisse works on the market - this is NOT one of them. This work descended in the Matisse family prior to my ownership and comes with a signed letter by Georges Matisse confirming its authenticity and inclusion in the artist’s archives. This work is number D 116 in the artist’s archives. Size

This work will be carefully packed and shipped with insurance and signature confirmation. Free local pick up is also available. International buyers - please note I cannot lower the declared value of the package for customs.
I frequently receive messages from people after I sell an item, asking if it is definitely gone. If something catches your eye, don't hesitate to inquire before it is sold!
