Portrait of Madame Zborowski c. 1917 - 1920

Amedeo Modigliani's "Portrait of Madame Zborowski" (c. 1917–1920) is a delicate pencil drawing that captures the essence of his signature style. The elongated features of the sitter, with her almond-shaped eyes and long, slender neck, exemplify Modigliani's artistic vision. The artist's mastery of line and contour is evident in the drawing's simple yet elegant composition. Modigliani, who tragically died young, was known for his portraits of Parisian bohemians and his iconic use of color, often employing earthy tones to create a sense of warmth and intimacy. This drawing, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, is a testament to his enduring artistic legacy.
