Madam Pompadour 1915

"Madam Pompadour," created in 1915 by the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, exemplifies his signature style. This portrait, like many of his works, is characterized by elongated features, almond-shaped eyes, and a simplified form. The subject, with her distinctive hat, is depicted with a sense of both elegance and melancholy, highlighting Modigliani's unique approach to portraiture. The painting showcases the artist's mastery of line and color, contributing to his legacy as a key figure in the early 20th-century modernist movement.
