The artwork titled “Servant Girl in Blue” was created by Chaim Soutine around the year 1934. This piece, rendered in oil on panel, belongs to the Expressionism movement and falls under the portrait genre. The painting is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a young female servant, captured with a somber expression and rendered in a palette dominated by rich, dark hues and bold, expressive brushstrokes. She is adorned in a blue garment, complemented by a white apron, and her hands are engaged in an indeterminate task, possibly involving an object on a table. The background features drapery in contrasting pink and purple tones, adding depth and emotion to the scene. The use of heavy, textured strokes typical of Expressionism highlights the emotional intensity and inner life of the subject.
