Portrait of a Woman 1919

Amedeo Modigliani's "Portrait of a Woman" (1919) is a striking example of his signature style, characterized by elongated necks, almond-shaped eyes, and simplified forms. The subject, a woman dressed in a simple black dress, stares directly at the viewer with a melancholic expression, creating a sense of intimacy and mystery. Modigliani's portraits are renowned for their elegant lines and emotional depth, capturing the essence of his subjects with a unique blend of realism and abstraction. This particular painting, painted just a year before his untimely death, embodies the emotional intensity and artistic brilliance of his final years.
