Standing Caryatid 1913

Amedeo Modigliani's "Standing Caryatid" from 1913 is a striking example of his signature style. The elongated figure, painted in bold, simplified lines, evokes an ancient Greek sculpture. The nude female form, rendered in a vibrant red against a dark background, highlights Modigliani's fascination with the female form and his exploration of line and color. This iconic work reflects the artist's early 20th-century artistic sensibilities, where he combined classical references with modern expressionism.
