Jeune Femme Assise by Henri Matisse is expected to fetch $150,000 to $200,000. The 52cm by 40cm drawing is signed and dated 1942 and, importantly, is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the Matisse Archives. The pen and ink drawing Jeune Femme Assise (Young woman seated) carries the highest estimate in the sale, $150,000 to $200,000. The Matisse is a surprise among a small offering of pictures, since the artist's work is rarely seen at Australian decorative arts auctions. A drawing by Henri Matisse, an important porcelain plaque by Angelica Kauffman and an early 20th-century designer chair that is part of a unique suite are among the decorative arts being sold by Melbourne auction house Leski this weekend.
