Seated nude with a Shirt 1917

Amedeo Modigliani's "Seated Nude with a Shirt" from 1917, currently housed at the Lille Métropole Museum of Modern, Contemporary and Outsider Art (LaM), is a prime example of his signature style. The elongated figure and simplified forms are characteristic of Modigliani's oeuvre, a style that reflects his deep admiration for ancient sculpture and his desire to capture the essence of the human form. The painting's muted color palette, dominated by earthy tones, further emphasizes the simplicity and directness of the composition.
