Robe violette et Anémones

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This painting does not appear notable and my BEFORE failed to find any WP:SIGCOV coverage, at least in English (maybe there's some in French? No French Wikipedia article for this, however). Per WP:NOTINHERITED, not all paintings by an otherwise notable artist merit a stand-alone article, and this article is a WP:SUBSTUB - a single sentence stating that "Robe violette et Anémones is a 1937 painting by Henri Matisse". (It was previously unreferenced, a reference has been added but it's just a catalogue entry). WP:NOTCATALOGUE comes to mind too.

 * Comment I have added a couple of references regarding the collection of this work. It is also worth noting that it was the cover image for the book of the 2001 exhibition The Triumph of French Painting: Masterpieces from Ingres to Matisse (ISBN 9781857592337) which toured from Baltimore to the Royal Academy in London.

 * Keep and maybe the nominator will close this good faith AfD after AllyD's reference additions and discovery of the paintings use on the book cover (thanks for nomming this so the new references had a chance to be located - AfD's seem much better than prod's when an artwork may likely be notable). Now it needs an image to top off a good collab. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:52, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is a very well-known painting by Matisse, and it is indeed notable. Try searching under its title in English, and you will find a lot of citations in art history books. The article needs improvement based on the available sourcing. AfD is not clean up. Sources exist, meets WP:GNG. Netherzone (talk) 19:06, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Withdrawing. I concur that there are sources in English under the English name (which wasn't and still isn't present in the article). I'll add the English name there. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:24, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
