The artwork, “Leopold Zborowski with a walking stick,” is an oil on canvas painting created by the renowned artist Amedeo Modigliani in 1917 in Paris, France. The portrait, which is part of the Expressionism art movement, measures 73 by 50 centimeters and is currently held in a private collection.
The portrait vividly captures the figure of Leopold Zborowski, characterized by Modigliani’s signature elongated and stylized forms. The subject is depicted with a calm, introspective demeanor, his hands delicately resting on a walking stick. The use of deep, muted colors in the background contrasts with the warm tones of the face and hands, creating a sense of depth and focus on the subject. With his distinctive treatment of proportions and expressive brushwork, Modigliani has rendered an image that combines formal elegance with a profound emotional resonance.
