The artwork, entitled “Girl in Blue,” was created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1919 in Paris, France. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Expressionism movement and measures 100 x 64 cm. The portrait is part of a private collection.
The artwork portrays a young girl dressed in a blue garment, seated against a vibrant background that contrasts with her attire. The girl’s elongated face and neck, along with her simplified features and almond-shaped eyes, are emblematic of Modigliani’s distinctive style. Her red hair falls gracefully over her shoulder, while she gazes forward with an enigmatic expression. Subtle shading and fluid lines give her figure a sense of softness and melancholy. The background, rendered in warm hues with hints of green, enhances the subject’s prominence, creating a harmonious yet striking composition.
