“Lunia Czechowska” is a portrait created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1919 in Paris, France. This exquisite piece, executed in oil on canvas, belongs to the Expressionism art movement and measures 80 by 52 centimeters. It is housed in the Museu de Arte Assis Chateaubriand (MAC) in Campina Grande, Brazil.
The artwork portrays a woman with an elongated neck and face, characteristic of Modigliani’s distinctive style. Her narrow, almond-shaped eyes are closed or lowered, lending a sense of contemplation or introspection to her countenance. The background is minimally detailed with muted tones, allowing the subject’s serene demeanor and elongated, stylized form to command attention. She is draped in understated attire, which further emphasizes the elegance and simplicity of Modigliani’s portrayal.
