The Young Apprentice 1918 - 1919

"The Young Apprentice" is a portrait by Amedeo Modigliani, created between 1918 and 1919. This painting is a testament to the artist's distinctive style, characterized by elongated figures with almond-shaped eyes and simplified features. The subject, a young man, is depicted in a pensive pose, his head resting on his hand, showcasing Modigliani's exploration of human emotion and vulnerability. While the background is muted and abstract, the figure stands out with its bold color and sculptural form, highlighting the artist's focus on capturing the essence of his subject.
