The Servant 1916

"The Servant" (1916) is a portrait by Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. Known for his distinctive style, Modigliani's paintings feature elongated figures with almond-shaped eyes and simplified forms. This portrait is a prime example, showcasing a woman with a melancholic expression and a background that hints at an interior space. The use of dark tones and thick outlines adds depth and intensity, characteristic of Modigliani's works. The painting is currently located at the Kunsthaus Zürich in Switzerland.
