The artwork, titled “Portrait of Maurice Utrillo,” is a notable piece by Suzanne Valadon, created in 1921 in Paris, France. This painting, executed in oil on canvas, belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and is classified as a portrait. Currently, the artwork is held in a private collection.
In the portrait, the subject, Maurice Utrillo, is depicted with a focused and introspective expression. He is shown with a mustache and wearing a brown suit with a white shirt and black tie. The subject holds a palette and brushes, poised as if he is in the midst of painting. The background suggests an interior space, possibly an artist’s studio, with dark tones and abstract shapes of what appear to be books and furniture. The brushstrokes exhibit the characteristic bold and expressive style of Post-Impressionism, with strong lines and striking contrasts of color and shadow contributing to the overall intensity and depth of the portrait.
