See 120, I was wrong, also, it is well a known ‘study’ piece of Matisse’s work. I think we all (myself included) jumped the gun.

We were right about the copy/similarity, but wrong about the motive.

I'm proud of FR that the truth came out though.

Exactly, she was open about it being a study and it is listed as such, pretty common for artists to do this. It was, however, a fun intellectual exercise and a chance for a little art research.. now on to important topics.
