It is notable that Matisse is a fan of abstract shapes and contours. While he pinpoints certain elements of realistic behavior (such as in the detail of the plant and use of shade to decipher the values in the skin tone), I would say he has an overall abstract style. Some of his other drawings and paintings seem to be simple and bold with vibrant colors and brush strokes, while this one appears busy, chaotic, and also full of color.
