The Gipsy 1926

"The Gipsy" is a 1926 oil painting by Chaim Soutine, depicting a close-up portrait of a woman. The painting is known for its expressive brushstrokes and intense, almost distorted depiction of the subject. Soutine's signature style of thick impasto and gestural application of paint is evident in the work, highlighting the raw emotionality of the sitter. This work is a testament to Soutine's mastery of portraiture, a genre that he explored throughout his artistic career. "The Gipsy" is currently held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
