Side Plate Set, Aquatint Portraits

A Side Plate Set featuring four faces from Henri Matisse’s series of aquatint portraits A portrait in the hands of Matisse distills the essence of the subject into fluid lines, alive with quiet emotion. Alex Matisse and his creative team selected these portraits specifically as decorative decals on the Side Plate in Panna Cotta, knowing the aquatint portraits would translate well to ceramics.
