Soutine was apparently inspired by Rembrandt's "Flayed Ox". I was not familiar with the painting so I looked it up. It is very typical of Rembrant's style. The tone of the paint is similar and the palette also. However, I have never greatly loved Rembrandt, probably because of my fixation with colour. I can see the similarities between the two, yet I prefer Soutine's because of his is use of colour. Though, I find them both quite depressing to look at!
