The artwork, titled “Young Girl in Beret”, was created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1918 while he was in Paris, France. This piece was composed using oil on canvas and belongs to the Expressionism art movement. The portrait measures 54 by 43 cm and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a young girl wearing a dark beret. Her elongated face and neck, along with the simplified and stylized form, are characteristic of Modigliani’s unique style. The girl is dressed in a soft pink garment that contrasts subtly with the brown and muted background, creating a gentle yet striking composition. Her expression is serene, with almond-shaped eyes that seem to convey a sense of introspection. The use of warm and earthy colours adds to the intimate and quiet mood of the portrait.
