Portrait of a Man with Hat (Jose Pacheco ) 1915

Amedeo Modigliani's "Portrait of a Man with Hat (Jose Pacheco)," painted in 1915, showcases the artist's signature style. The elongated face, almond-shaped eyes, and simplified features are hallmarks of Modigliani's portraiture. This oil painting, currently in a private collection, exudes a sense of melancholic charm through its muted palette and the subject's contemplative gaze, typical of Modigliani's portrayal of individuals. The subject's attire and the dark background further contribute to the enigmatic atmosphere of the artwork. The painting, measuring 65 x 54 cm, demonstrates Modigliani's distinctive approach to portraiture, blending elements of Cubism and Art Nouveau.
