Matisse’s prints and drawings provided him with a library of images to be put aside for a time and reopened later with a fresh perspective. The vivid oil portrait of Matisse’s model, companion, and muse, Lydia Delectorskaya, from 1935, intensifies a pose explored casually in an earlier series of small etchings from 1929 in which a woman gazes, with dreamy disinterest, at goldfish in a bowl.
