“Portrait of a Woman” by Amedeo Modigliani is an artwork created in 1907 in Paris, France. It is an oil on canvas painting that belongs to the Expressionism movement and is categorized as a portrait. The artwork is part of a private collection.
The painting features a woman positioned slightly off-center, facing towards the right while she looks directly at the viewer. Her gaze is engaging and somewhat intense. The brushwork is visible, providing texture and a sense of immediacy to the piece. Modigliani’s style is evident in the elongated neck and the simplified, yet expressive features of the woman’s face. The color palette consists of muted, earthly tones, with the woman’s red garment standing out against a neutral, nondescript background. This color contrast draws attention to her figure and facial expression. The woman dons a hat, and a white collar is visible, suggesting a sense of fashion appropriate to the era. Modigliani’s signature is visibly inscribed at the bottom right of the painting.
