The artwork, titled “Lunia Czechovska,” was created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1919 in Paris, France. This oil on canvas portrait belongs to the Expressionism art movement. As a genre of portraiture, the artwork reflects Modigliani’s distinct style and artistic expressions.
In the artwork, a female figure is depicted in profile view. The subject possesses an elongated neck and face, characteristic of Modigliani’s portraits. Her hair is styled back, with hues of auburn, standing out vividly. The background features an abstract mix of muted and dark tones, which serves to highlight the subject’s serene yet poignant expression. The combination of bold lines and soft shading emphasizes the figure’s graceful yet melancholic presence, typical of Modigliani’s emotionally resonant and elongated aesthetic.
