Portrait of a Young Woman 1918

Amedeo Modigliani's "Portrait of a Young Woman" is a striking example of his iconic style. Painted in 1918, just two years before his untimely death, this portrait exemplifies Modigliani's unique approach to portraiture. The elongated face, almond-shaped eyes, and simplified forms are hallmarks of his artistic expression. The subject's gaze is directed downwards, creating an air of introspection and mystery. The painting's minimalist background further emphasizes the subject's presence, creating a sense of intimacy and depth. This work, like many of Modigliani's portraits, captures a timeless elegance and emotional complexity.
