Reclining nude with Arms Folded under Her Head 1916

Amedeo Modigliani's "Reclining nude with Arms Folded under Her Head" from 1916 is a striking example of his signature elongated figures and simplified forms. The nude's body is rendered in warm, earthy tones against a dark background, with her long limbs and almond-shaped eyes conveying a sense of both elegance and vulnerability. The artist's use of bold, expressive lines and flat planes of color contribute to the painting's highly stylized and decorative quality. This work, now in the E.G. Bührle Foundation in Zurich, Switzerland, exemplifies Modigliani's profound influence on the development of modern art.
