The general hues in general give the painting a sort of brown earthen feel, despite the white counter top and pitcher in the background. It is interesting how some of Matisse's skin tones match the brown (possibly wooden) part of the counter top.
The palate he is holding appears to be flat, as well as several slightly varying perspectives used, most notable in the palate, the floor/chair/ suitcase and the counter in the background.
Matisse's left leg (bearing in mind that this was painted by looking in the mirror) or the leg closes to the viewer appears a little warped and disjointed, giving the illusion Matisse had quite a large bottom.
