Caryatid 1911

Amedeo Modigliani's "Caryatid" (1911) is a striking example of the artist's signature style. The elongated figure, rendered in bold strokes of charcoal and pastel on paper, leans against a deep blue background, creating a sense of both strength and vulnerability. Modigliani's Caryatids, referencing the architectural female figures, often depicted in contorted poses, are a powerful symbol of femininity and artistic expression. This piece, now housed in the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, is a testament to Modigliani's short but impactful artistic career.
