In this early painting by Rouault, a lightly sketched girl gazes toward the viewer and smiles. The artist was striving to imitate the elegance and spontaneity of East Asian brush painting, specifically the intimate scenes dominated by lyrical blues and glowing yellows. Purchased in 1949, Little Girl in Blue was among Dr. Barnes's last acquisitions. Its display in Room 20 allows visitors to compare the graphic styles of modern artists with each other as well as with their non-Western influences.
