Standing nude (Elvira) 1918

"Standing nude (Elvira)" is a 1918 oil painting by Amedeo Modigliani, depicting a standing nude woman, likely his muse, Jeanne Hébuterne. The painting exemplifies Modigliani's signature style, characterized by elongated figures with almond-shaped eyes, simplified forms, and a focus on the subject's emotional presence. The woman's nude figure is rendered in warm orange tones against a cool blue background, creating a striking contrast. The painting is currently part of the Walter Hadorn collection in Bern, Switzerland.
