The artwork titled “Alice” by Amedeo Modigliani was created in 1915 in Paris, France. The piece is an oil painting on canvas, measuring 78 x 39 cm, and belongs to the Expressionism art movement. It depicts a portrait and is currently housed in the National Gallery of Denmark (Statens Museum for Kunst) in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The painting features a young girl, Alice, positioned against a dark background. Her elongated face, a signature element in Modigliani’s work, is characterized by exaggerated, almond-shaped eyes, and a calm expression. She has a pale complexion contrasted against her dark, flowing hair. Alice’s attire is a simple light blue dress with a white collar, adorned with a small, subtle cross pendant, adding a touch of detail to her modest appearance. The overall brushwork exhibits the bold and emotive style commonly associated with Expressionism, capturing a sense of introspection and serenity.
