Studio, Quai St. Michel 1916

This painting by Henri Matisse is in the Phillips Collection. I was especially drawn to its elemental geometry and depth, the view from the lofty studio, of the Seine and the Pont Saint-Michel, and the blue roof of the Louvre.

Another Matisse in The Phillips Collection is more heralded, Interior with an Egyptian Curtain. It's a fine work I guess, but it hasn't herringbone floors.
