The artwork titled “Anna (Hanka) Zborowska” is a portrait created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1917 in Paris, France. Utilizing oil on canvas as his medium, Modigliani rendered this piece in the Expressionism art movement style. The portrait measures 55 x 33 cm.
In the artwork, a solemn-faced woman is depicted with elongated facial features, characteristic of Modigliani’s distinctive style. Her almond-shaped eyes, long nose, and small, pursed lips give the portrait an abstract yet poignant quality. She is dressed in a dark garment adorned with a white collar, contrasting with the warm, earthy tones of her skin and the background. The brush strokes are evident, imparting texture and depth to the image, while the use of shading and color creates a sense of three-dimensional form. The background is kept simple and nondescript, drawing the viewer’s focus to the expression and form of the subject.
