Lithograph based on a painting by Henri Matisse (French). The lithograph was originally part of a series of prints that were published by Verve, a French art magazine, in 1939. The original prints were made by Terlade and Mourlot, two renowned printers in Paris. The lithograph depicts a still life of fruit on a table, with simple shapes. The lithograph comes with a certificate of authenticity from the National Art Guild, an organization that claims to verify the quality and origin of artworks. However, the reliability of this organization and its founder, George Kopel, is questionable and cannot be verified. The lithograph has a registration number of HM S 37.
