The artwork titled “Young Woman in a Shirt (The Little Milkmaid)” was created by Amedeo Modigliani around the year 1917 in Paris, France. It was executed using oil on canvas and belongs to the Expressionism art movement. This nude painting, with dimensions of 100 x 63 cm, is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a young woman, softly rendered in Modigliani’s distinct style, characterized by elongated forms and an ethereal, melancholic expression. The subject is seated and partially draped in a white cloth, her body subtly contoured with hints of pink and peach hues. The background is composed of muted tones of blue and gray, which contrast yet complement the warmth of her skin, highlighting the delicate nature of the composition. The overall ambiance is serene and introspective, capturing a moment of quiet elegance and simplicity.
