“**Woman’s Head**” is a portrait created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1915 in Paris, France. Executed in oil on canvas, the artwork is an exemplary piece from the Expressionism movement. This portrait is currently housed in the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany.
The artwork presents the head of a woman rendered with broad, expressive strokes; the brushwork is visibly dynamic, delineating the features of the face with an almost abstract quality. The visage emerges from a largely bare canvas, allowing the contours of the figure to command attention. The eyes are prominent and profound, drawing the viewer into the ethereal aura of the subject. The use of minimalistic lines and monochromatic palette reflects a sense of raw emotion and intensity, characteristic of Modigliani’s distinctive style. The piece elicits a deeply introspective response, immersing the viewer in the complexities of human expression and form.
