The artwork known as “Seated Young Woman” is a portrait painted by Amedeo Modigliani around 1918 in Paris, France. This piece, rendered in oil on canvas, measures 92 by 53 centimeters and is associated with the Expressionism movement. It is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork portrays a young woman seated on a chair, with her hands gently clasped in her lap. The composition features Modigliani’s characteristic elongated forms and subtle, melancholic expression. The background incorporates muted tones of green and red, emphasizing the serene yet somber demeanor of the subject. The woman’s black dress contrasts with her pale skin and the vivid background, drawing the viewer’s focus to her contemplative gaze and relaxed posture. The overall impression of the painting is one of introspective calm, a hallmark of Modigliani’s poignant portraiture.
