The artwork “Young Woman,” by Chaim Soutine, created circa 1915, is an oil on canvas painting belonging to the Expressionist movement. This portrait, depicting a young woman, is currently held in a private collection.
In the artwork, an expressive and dynamic portrayal of a young woman is rendered with bold brushstrokes and vibrant color contrasts characteristic of the Expressionist style. The background is a mix of yellow and green hues, providing a lively yet slightly disordered backdrop that complements the central figure. The woman’s face is meticulously detailed, capturing a subtle expression that exudes both warmth and introspection. Her attire, predominantly dark with hints of white and red, further accentuates the emotive quality of the portrait. The overall composition reflects Soutine’s distinctive approach to conveying the intensity of human emotion through his adept manipulation of color and form.
