The artwork titled “Bust of a Young Girl” was created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1908, during his time in Paris, France. This artwork is part of the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of portraiture.
The artwork depicts a young girl with a solemn expression, characterized by deep, dark eyes and a prominent facial structure. The figure’s hair is rendered in a brown hue, styled in a way that frames her face. The girl is dressed in simple clothing, with a high collar that accentuates her neck. The background is painted in muted, dark tones with visible brushstrokes, providing a stark contrast to the lighter shades used for the girl’s face and clothing. The use of shadow and color highlights Modigliani’s stylistic elements typical of the Expressionism movement, focusing on emotional depth and individual expression.
