Offset lithographic poster, signed in and dated in the plate. Printed for the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, who now hold the original gouache, donated by the family who previously owned it.

Laid down on board for conservation.

This poster reproduces imagery derived from Matisse’s celebrated The Thousand and One Nights series, inspired by his lifelong fascination with pattern, ornament, and Islamic art. The elongated format emphasises flow and repetition, echoing the visual logic of textiles, manuscripts, and decorative friezes.
