Here's The Piano Lesson，one of Henri Matisse's most famous paintings.The boy in the picture is the painter's son，Pierre.In the picture，Pierre looks quite serious.Why？Well，look at the yellow candle on the red piano.It's almost burned down.So maybe Pierre has already practiced for hours.And Matisse uses a lot of gray，not a very fun color，right？It shows how the poor kid feels，don't you think？
   On the top right comer，you can see a woman sitting straight on a seat.Is she Pierre's piano teacher？Or his mother？Well，if you're a Matisse fan，you'll know this is in fact another painting by him，Woman on a High Stool.Interesting，right？
   Matisse likes to do that a lot.In fact there's another work by Matisse in the picture.
   Did you find it？Right!The sculpture（雕）on the bottom left corner!
   Matisse painted this picture in 1916.Pierre was already 16 then，but the artist painted his son much younger than he really was.Pierre had gone away to be a French soldier，and Matisse didn't know whether he would come back.Maybe this is a worried father's way to remember the good old days.
