Bust of Manuel Humbert 1916

Amedeo Modigliani’s 1916 "Bust of Manuel Humbert" exemplifies the artist's signature style. The elongated face, almond-shaped eyes, and simplified forms are hallmarks of Modigliani's portraiture. The subject, Manuel Humbert, is depicted in a pose of quiet contemplation, his gaze directed outward. The painting's muted color palette and use of thick, impasto brushstrokes create a sense of depth and texture. Modigliani's iconic portraits, often characterized by their expressive and stylized features, continue to captivate audiences with their emotional resonance and aesthetic impact.
