A figure sits against a blood-red background, gazing out at the viewer through large blue eyes. Soutine uses the familiar conventions of portraiture—note the folded hands and the three-quarter view pose—and then explodes tradition with fiery colors and undulating sweeps of paint. The hands are especially expressive—pinks and oranges applied in crude, broad strokes, with a few patches of bare canvas showing through.
