Portrait of a Boy 1928

"Portrait of a Boy" is a 1928 oil painting by Chaim Soutine, known for his expressive and often distorted depictions of figures. The painting features a young boy dressed in a bright red waistcoat, his pose and facial expression conveying a sense of tension and introspection. Soutine's characteristic thick impasto brushstrokes create a sense of both immediacy and emotional intensity. This piece exemplifies Soutine's artistic focus on the human figure and the complexities of human emotion.
