At a Pleyel grand piano, a woman and child are deep in a lesson, sheet music open, a violin resting on the pink piano lid. Beyond the open window, a lush garden in deep greens frames a reclining sculpture above an ornate balcony, and through it all Matisse orchestrates a dozen different subjects, textures, and colour zones into a single extraordinary composition.

These large green sections fill with enormous satisfaction and establish the cool, garden-filtered light that floods the entire interior. In the 36 and 48-colour versions, the greens shift from cool blue-teal to warm yellow-green across the garden, and painting that transition is one of the most absorbing sequences in our \u003cstrong\u003emasterpiece paint by numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e range.
