Robe violette et Anémones

Robe violette et Anémones (known in English at Purple Robe and Anemones) is a 1937 painting by Henri Matisse featuring a woman wearing a purple robe sitting next to a vase of anemones.
The painting is among those purchased by Etta Cone and is part of the Cone Collection at Baltimore Museum of Art. The painting has been called "one of the best-loved pieces" of that collection.
The painting has been described as showing "Henri Matisse's comprehensive use of space: not much is left empty, creating a rich viewing experience. ". It has also been said that it is "a great example of Matisse's use of flat areas of bold color and pattern" , as the placement of overlapping objects creates a sense of space with simple lines, suggestive of volume.<ref name=":0" />
