“Head of a Girl” is an artwork created by the renowned artist Amedeo Modigliani around the year 1918 in Paris, France. This piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is a portrait genre painting. Currently, the artwork resides in a private collection.
The artwork features a young girl depicted with Modigliani’s characteristic elongated facial features. Her face is accentuated with almond-shaped, dark eyes that are void of pupils, lending a sense of mystery and introspection to her expression. The girl’s hair is arranged in a simple, neat bun, further highlighting her elongated neck. She is adorned in a modest outfit with a white collar, suggesting simplicity and elegance. The background is rendered in muted tones, with a wooden panel on the right side, subtly drawing focus to the girl’s serene yet enigmatic face.
