The artwork titled “Margarita seated,” created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1916 in Paris, France, is an Expressionist oil portrait on canvas that measures 80 x 39.6 cm. It remains part of a private collection. The subject of the painting is Margarita, rendered with Modigliani’s distinctive elongated forms and melancholic expressions. The palette consists of muted tones, accentuating the somber yet intimate mood. Her slender figure and abstract facial features are characteristic of Modigliani’s style, evoking a sense of depth and introspection. The portrait captures a contemplative moment, further enhanced by the simplified background, allowing the viewer to focus on Margarita’s poignant expression.
