“Portrait of a Child” by Chaim Soutine, created circa 1937, is an expressionist oil painting on linoleum. This portrait, belonging to the Expressionism art movement, is currently housed in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a young child standing against a textured, patterned background. The loose, vigorous brushstrokes and vibrant colors are characteristic of Soutine’s distinctive style. The child, donned in a white attire with a somber expression, exudes a sense of innocence and vulnerability. The contrasting hues and expressive technique convey a deep emotional resonance, enhancing the viewer’s connection to the subject.
