The artwork, titled “Portrait of Leopold Zborowski,” is an oil on canvas painting created circa 1916 by Amedeo Modigliani in Paris, France. It belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is classified as a portrait.
The artwork depicts a male figure with elongated features and a solemn expression, characteristic of Modigliani’s unique style. The subject, dressed in dark attire, is seen set against a muted, textured background, which highlights his form. The use of earthy and subdued hues, coupled with the elongated lines of the subject’s face and body, evokes a sense of introspection and melancholy. This portrait exemplifies Modigliani’s ability to convey deep emotion through simplified, stylized forms, staying true to the core tenets of Expressionism.
