The artwork titled “The Singer from Nice” was created by Amedeo Modigliani around 1919 in Paris, France. Executed using oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and falls under the portrait genre. Currently, it is held in a private collection.
The artwork portrays a woman with simplified and elongated features, characteristic of Modigliani’s style. Her face is rendered with a pale complexion, accentuated by touches of pink blush on the cheeks and red lips. The eyes are abstract and devoid of detail, painted in a light blue hue, which adds a haunting and enigmatic quality to her expression. Her reddish-brown hair is styled neatly, and she appears to be wearing earrings that frame her face. The background is dark, contrasting sharply with the lightness of her skin and the simplicity of her attire, drawing focus to the somber and contemplative mood of the portrait.
