Henri Matisse no seu estúdio. No primeiro plano há uma gaiola onde três pombas estão soltas.

As três pombas estão iluminadas pelo sol e Matisse está envolto pela sombra. O mais interessante é que há três gaiolas; todas vazias e iluminadas pela luz do sol. Matisse está com uma espécie de lenço na cabeça (bandana), usa óculos de aros redondos e parece conversar com a pomba que está em sua mão.
