'La Persane', coming from an edition of fifteen, sees Matisse engage with Persian art, which was one of the main influences of Primitivism.

Whereas Picasso mainly drew from African imagery for inspiration, Matisse focused on Persian art, fascinated by the use of patterns in Persian miniatures, which were used to create depth.
