1927 (ca.), Chaim Soutine, The Little Pastry Chef -- National Gallery (London)
From the museum label: During the 1920s, the Belarusian-Jewish artist Chaim Soutine became fascinated with the single-coloured uniforms of people working in Parisian restaurants and hotels. He painted six young pastry chefs, of which this is the last. The series of paintings established his artistic reputation and they are perhaps his best-known works. Focusing on the boy's white jacket, the portrait shows Soutine's distinctive brushwork.
