“Jeanne Hébuterne with Necklace,” created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1917 in Paris, France, is an oil on canvas portrait representative of the Expressionism art movement. The artwork measures 55.5 by 38.5 centimeters and currently resides in a private collection.
The artwork portrays a female figure adorned with a necklace, presumably Jeanne Hébuterne, depicted with elongated features and a graceful, slightly tilted head. The background is rendered in a muted, earthy tone, which contrasts subtly with the figure’s pale complexion and somber blue dress. Delicate brushstrokes and Modigliani’s characteristic stylization imbue the portrait with an essence of melancholy and introspective depth. The necklace, prominently displayed, adds a touch of elegance and emphasis to the figure’s poised yet pensive demeanor.
