Young Woman in a Small Ruff 1915

Amedeo Modigliani's "Young Woman in a Small Ruff" is a striking portrait painted in 1915. The artwork features a young woman with elongated features, almond-shaped eyes, and a delicate, almost ethereal quality. Modigliani's signature style, characterized by simplified forms and bold lines, is evident in the portrait, emphasizing the subject's elegance and grace. The use of contrasting colors, such as the woman's bright red skin tone against the dark background, creates a captivating and dynamic composition. This work is a prime example of Modigliani's mastery of portraiture, showcasing his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with a unique blend of beauty and expressiveness.
