Mad Woman is a 1920 oil by Chaïm Soutine, held at National Museum of Western Art.
This painting shows a woman in a red dress and green hat. She's sitting with her hands clasped together in front of her. The background is a mix of brown, yellow, and green colors. The woman's face looks sad and worried. Her eyes are cast downward, and her eyebrows are furrowed. The artist used thick brushstrokes and vivid colors to create a sense of energy and emotion. The painting's style is expressive and emotive, with a focus on capturing the woman's inner state. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of bold colors and textures, you might want to explore the technique of impasto.
