The style of this painting, which is typical of Aroch during this period, typifies the subdued expressionism that Aroch adopted under the influence of artists of the “Paris School,” such as Chaïm Soutine, Marc Chagall, and Mané-Katz. In the 1930s painting “Portrait”, Aroch also uses expressionistic brush strokes to create this melancholy portrait. Unlike those of other painters, Aroch's paintings don't exceed the boundaries of artistic representation, and his expressive brushstrokes don't turn into a description with abstract underpinnings.
