Description
Portrait by Russian-French expressionist Chaim Soutine (1893-1943) of his devoted patron, wealthy interior designer Madeleine Castaing, asleep with her face in a book, in an improbable vertical position, painted c.1937. Castaing went on to amass a considerable collection of Soutine's paintings. According to Picasso she was 'the most alluring woman in Paris,' although you would be hard-pressed to think so from this intriguing but none-too-flattering picture. But then, hey, that's expressionism for you.
