The artwork “Nude Looking over Her Right Shoulder,” created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1917 in Paris, France, showcases the artist’s renowned style within the Expressionism movement. Executed in oil on canvas and measuring 89 by 146 cm, this piece is an example of a nude painting (nu) and is currently housed in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a woman reclining on a white surface, her back turned towards the viewer while she gazes over her right shoulder. The nude figure, rendered in warm, earthy tones, contrasts against a dark background, drawing attention to her form. The artist has employed his characteristic elongated and simplified lines to accentuate the sensuality and elegance of the subject. The woman’s serene expression and the soft, fluid lines of her body create a harmonious and intimate composition. Modigliani’s unique approach captures the essence of the human form, blending realism with stylized abstraction.
