The artwork, titled “Head of a Woman,” was executed by the artist Amedeo Modigliani in 1918 in Paris, France. This piece, an oil painting on canvas, belongs to the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of portraiture. Currently, it resides in a private collection.
In the artwork, the subject is depicted with distinct elongated features, characteristic of Modigliani’s style. The woman wears a wide-brimmed hat, rendered in warm, muted tones that complement the earthy palette of the background. Her facial features are simplified yet expressive, with elongated neck and stylized, almond-shaped eyes imparting a serene yet enigmatic expression. The composition and use of color invoke a sense of tranquility and contemplation, typical of Modigliani’s portraits.
