“The Jewish Woman” is a portrait created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1908 in Paris, France. Executed in oil on canvas, the artwork belongs to the Expressionist movement and measures 55 by 46 centimeters.
In the artwork, a solitary female figure is rendered with characteristic Modigliani features, such as elongated neck and simplified facial attributes, which evoke a sense of melancholy and introspection. The palette comprises muted and dark tones that blend seamlessly with soft yet bold brushstrokes, creating a textured and expressive background. The piercing gaze of the woman, along with the slightly tilted head and pursed lips, accentuate a contemplative mood. The use of shadow and light, combined with the abstract handling of the surrounding space, further enriches the emotional depth of the portrait.
