“Woman’s Head (Rosalia)” is a portrait created by Amedeo Modigliani around the year 1915 in Paris, France. Executed in oil on canvas, this artwork is characterized by its dimensions of 43.2 x 26.3 cm and falls under the Expressionism art movement. The artwork is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork portrays a woman with an elongated face, typical of Modigliani’s style, and showcases a simplification of form with an emphasis on stark outlines and striking features. The background is a muted, dark hue which contrasts with the more vibrant, yet still subdued, tones of the woman’s face. Her eyes are depicted as almond-shaped slits, giving her an air of mystery and introspection. The overall palette of the painting is composed of earthy tones with slight touches of pink on the cheeks, adding a subtle warmth to the composition. The portrait exudes a serene and minimalist elegance, encapsulating the essence of the Expressionist movement through emotion and abstraction.
