The Blue Blouse 1917

"The Blue Blouse" is a portrait painted by Amedeo Modigliani in 1917. It depicts a woman with a long neck, almond-shaped eyes and a somber expression, characteristic of the artist's unique style. The painting's simplified forms and bold colors, particularly the blue background, create a striking contrast that draws the viewer into the subject's introspective gaze. The use of dark outlines and elongated features contributes to the sense of depth and the subject's melancholic presence, typical of Modigliani's expressive portraits.
