Portrait of Jeanne Hébuterne 1918

Amedeo Modigliani's "Portrait of Jeanne Hébuterne" (1918) captures the artist's muse and future wife in a simple yet striking pose. Hébuterne is depicted in profile, her elongated neck and almond-shaped eyes characteristic of Modigliani's style. The use of muted colors, particularly the pale blue background and soft pinks and oranges, creates a sense of intimacy and tranquility. The painting reflects Modigliani's fascination with the female form, often depicted as idealized and ethereal.
