The artwork titled “Portrait de Paul Alexanders” was created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1913 in Paris, France. This painting, forming part of the Expressionism art movement, is rendered in oil on canvas and measures 80 by 45 centimeters. It belongs to the genre of portraiture and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork features a stylized depiction of a male figure, characterized by elongated facial features and a contemplative demeanor. The subject’s thin, angular face and prominent mustache are rendered with Modigliani’s signature elongation, creating a sense of both elegance and introspection. The color palette predominantly consists of muted tones, with subtle contrasts that emphasize the figure’s somber expression and refined attire. The background is abstract and indistinct, drawing focus to the portrait and enhancing the subject’s presence. Modigliani’s brushwork is both expressive and delicately nuanced, contributing to the evocative quality of the portrait. The overall composition reflects the artist’s distinctive style and his ability to convey deep psychological insight through minimalist yet poignant techniques.
