This is a beautiful high-end original gouache watercolor on paper.  It is signed Henri Matisse lower edge. Guaranteed to be a one of a kind piece. To my knowledge it has never been catalogued. I am selling as "attributed to Matisse" based on the paperwork included. That is reflected in the price. 

Titled: "Woman On Couch"

Size:  12 x 16 inches;  sold unframed.

 Paperwork:

(1)An original signed Provenance and Certification document on letterhead stationary from son of British government official. 

(2)A COA as attributed to Matisse by a pHD in Art History.

(3)A copy of a letter from the British government dated 1955. Letter acknowledges an attempt from the owner to return art he had in his possession that was from forced seizures between 1933-1945. This piece was part of that collection.

(4)An older appraisal from a certified Appraisal- dated 2007. This appraisal was very high $55,000-65,000.  I don't want to mislead anyone as to valuation, but I will include it anyway.


Picture is sold as-is.  The paperwork is the sole professional opinion of the issuer only.
