The artwork, “Jeanne Hébuterne with Hat and Necklace” by Amedeo Modigliani, was created in 1917 in Paris, France. This oil painting on canvas, measuring 164.52 by 137.1 cm, is a notable piece within the Expressionism movement and falls under the portrait genre.
In the artwork, Modigliani’s characteristic elongated forms and simplified lines are prominently featured. The portrait presents Jeanne Hébuterne with a serene yet introspective expression. She is depicted wearing a dark hat that partially obscures her hair and a necklace that adorns her long, slender neck. The use of warm, earthy tones contrasts with the cooler, darker background, highlighting the subject’s delicate facial features. The composition of the piece, with its distinct use of line and form, exemplifies Modigliani’s unique approach to capturing the essence of his subjects.
