The artwork titled “Two Girls,” created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1918 in Paris, France, is an oil painting on canvas. This piece, measuring 100 by 65 centimeters, is an exemplary representation of the Expressionism art movement and is classified under the portrait genre. Currently, the artwork is housed in a private collection.
In “Two Girls,” Modigliani presents a portrait of two young girls seated closely together. The juxtaposition of the older girl in darker attire and the younger girl in a lighter dress creates a compelling contrast. The figures are rendered with Modigliani’s characteristic elongated forms and almond-shaped eyes, encapsulating a profound simplicity and emotional depth. The background features muted, earthy tones, enhancing the focus on the subjects and emphasizing the intimate connection between them.
