Seated nude with Necklace 1917

"Seated Nude with Necklace" is a painting by the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani created in 1917. This iconic artwork is a quintessential example of Modigliani's signature style, characterized by elongated figures with almond-shaped eyes and simplified forms. The nude subject, rendered in warm tones, is depicted in a contemplative pose, her gaze directed downwards, her hand resting gently on her chest, adorned with a delicate necklace. Modigliani's simplified forms and use of vibrant colors create a unique visual language that celebrates the beauty of the human form.
