“The Beautiful Confectioner” is a portrait created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1916, in Paris, France. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece embodies the Expressionist art movement. It measures 100 x 75 cm and currently resides in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a female figure characterized by Modigliani’s signature elongated neck and simplified facial features. The subject’s posture reveals a gentle, contemplative demeanor, accentuated by her slightly tilted head and the subtle curve of her clasped hands. The background, painted in deep, muted tones, contrasts with the figure’s warm complexion and dark hair, directing the viewer’s focus to the subject. The woman is dressed in a modest attire, reflecting the understated elegance and introspection typical of Modigliani’s portraits. The artwork exudes a serene, introspective aura, capturing a moment of quiet reflection.
