The artwork, titled “Jeanne Hebuterne in a Yellow Jumper,” was created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1919 in Paris, France. It is an oil painting on canvas, measuring 93 by 54.5 centimeters, and belongs to the Expressionism art movement. This portrait is currently housed in the Ohara Museum of Art in Kurashiki, Japan.
The artwork features a seated woman in a yellow jumper, characterized by Modigliani’s signature elongated forms and simplified features. The woman’s face appears serene, with almond-shaped eyes and a slight tilt of the head, conveying a sense of calm introspection. The background of the painting is composed of muted tones, which serve to highlight the figure’s central position. The use of rich, earthy hues and the deliberate abstraction of form contribute to the emotional depth and expressive quality typical of Modigliani’s work.
