In this tall, narrow portrait, painted with loose, energetic brush strokes, a young man wearing a deep red uniform with matching cap stands in front of a dark burgundy, gray, green, and blue background. A row of gold buttons extends down the front of the boy’s jacket. His right hand is by his side, palm facing out, and his left hand is clenched in front of his waist. The figure’s dark eyes, hair, and moustache stand out again his pale skin. — Chaïm Soutine

Page Boy at Maxim's , ca. 1927
