Young Woman of the People 1918

"Young Woman of the People" is a 1918 oil painting by Amedeo Modigliani, a prominent figure in the early 20th-century art world. This portrait, created just two years before his death in 1920, exemplifies Modigliani's signature style, characterized by elongated figures, simplified forms, and a focus on expressive line work. The painting features a young woman with an almond-shaped face, long neck, and prominent features, rendered in muted tones. It showcases the artist's fascination with the human form and his desire to capture its essence through a simplified and expressive style. The subject's introspective gaze and the overall sense of quietude in the painting convey a melancholic mood.
