“Head of a Woman with a Hat,” created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1907 in Paris, France, is a watercolor portrait on paper representing the Expressionism art movement. The artwork measures 35 x 27 cm.
The artwork depicts a woman adorned with a large, black hat that contrasts with her bright, blonde hair. Modigliani uses soft, muted tones in the rendering of the woman’s face, with emphasis on elongated features and minimalistic line work characteristic of his distinctive style. The background is subtly textured, allowing the subject, with her serene yet slightly distant expression, to remain the focal point. The simplicity of the lines and the use of color highlight the elegance and emotional depth of the portrait.
