Green Stripe

The Green Stripe (La Raie Verte) also known as The Green Line or Mme Matisse, is a portrait by Henri Matisse of his wife, Amélie Noellie Matisse-Parayre. He painted it in 1905, just prior to such work being labeled as that of Les Fauves (the wild beasts), along with the works of André Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck.

The painting hangs in Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
