The artwork “Woman with a Fan (Lunia Czechowska)” by Amedeo Modigliani was created in 1919 in Paris, France. An oil painting on canvas, it belongs to the Expressionism art movement. The portrait measures 100 by 65 centimeters and is housed in the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Paris, France.
The artwork features a woman with an elongated neck and an oval face, holding a fan with her left hand. The background is a vibrant red, accentuating the portrait’s deliberate and stylized features, characteristic of Modigliani’s unique artistic approach. The subject is dressed in a yellow and white garment, and her serene expression evokes a sense of quietude and introspection. The juxtaposition of the warm background against the figure’s cool complexion enhances the emotional depth and intensity, hallmarks of Expressionism.
