Portrait of a Woman 1912

André Derain's "Portrait of a Woman" (1912) is a striking example of the artist's Fauvist style. The work features simplified forms, bold colors, and expressive brushstrokes, capturing the essence of his subject rather than precise detail. Derain's signature use of vibrant hues, particularly the warm oranges and reds, evokes a sense of energy and emotion. This painting, now in a private collection, is a testament to the artist's dynamic and expressive approach to portraiture.
