I assumed it was some kind of heater and he obviously liked them. I fpund out later that I was close, it is a tea urn thst is kept hot most of the time. The steam was also uswed to heat the space.Matisse being a French artist and this being mostly Russian must have had a special reason for using it so many times in his paintings. I wonder what that was? I assumed it was for tea or for heating and I wasn't too far off. Read about it below.This is s fun painting with the reflect of what is on the other side of the room. Of course I alwayslove to include Matisse's Cat somewhere too. Hummm....wonder what she is thinking about?
