About Woman with red hair

The artwork “Woman with Red Hair,” created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1917 in Paris, France, is an oil painting on canvas. This portrait reflects the Expressionism art movement and exemplifies Modigliani’s distinctive style.

The artwork depicts a woman with vibrant red hair, which is styled in loose waves that frame her face. Her elongated neck and slightly tilted head are characteristic of Modigliani’s portraits. She is dressed in a dark garment with a light collar, creating a striking contrast. The background is subdued, allowing the subject’s features to stand out prominently. The woman’s expression is serene and introspective, and her eyes are rendered with a sense of deep contemplation. The composition is both elegant and simplistic, focusing attention on the subject’s facial features and posture.
