The artwork titled “Hanka Zborowska” was created by Amedeo Modigliani in Paris, France in 1919. This expressionist portrait, rendered in oil on canvas, measures 55 x 39 cm. Currently held in a private collection, the piece exemplifies Modigliani’s characteristic style within the Expressionist movement.
The artwork features a portrait of a woman with an elongated neck and face, a hallmark of Modigliani’s style. The subject’s eyes are depicted without detailed pupils, giving her an introspective, almost enigmatic presence. Her lips are painted in a subtle yet distinct red hue, contrasting with the muted tones of the background. The brushwork is evident, with visible strokes that enhance the texture and depth of the painting. The simple, almost austere background directs full attention to the subject, encapsulating the emotional essence typically pursued in Expressionist art.
