The artwork titled “Annie Bjarne” was created by Amedeo Modigliani in the year 1919 in Paris, France. Rendered in oil on canvas, this piece exemplifies the Expressionism art movement and falls within the portrait genre.
The artwork presents a serene yet evocative portrait of a seated woman, characterized by Modigliani’s distinctive elongated forms and simplified features. The woman, dressed in a muted blue-grey attire, has a contemplative demeanor, her face marked by delicate, almost ethereal features. Set against a background composed of rich, earthy tones with abstracted forms, the setting amplifies the introspective mood of the subject. Her downcast gaze and the harmonious blending of colors contribute to an overall impression of quiet reflection and melancholic beauty, hallmark traits of Modigliani’s expressive style.
