Seated nude 1918

Amedeo Modigliani's "Seated Nude" from 1918 is a striking example of his signature style. The elongated figure, with its almond-shaped eyes and simplified features, is rendered in a palette of warm tones against a muted background. This work, like many of Modigliani's nudes, is characterized by its formal elegance and air of melancholy, a sentiment perhaps echoed in the subject's downward gaze. The artist's characteristic use of line and color, along with the muted background, creates a sense of depth and intimacy within the painting.
