Elvira with a white collar 1918

Amedeo Modigliani's "Elvira with a white collar" from 1918 depicts a seated woman with a distinctive elongated face and almond-shaped eyes, characteristic of the artist's style. The sitter's prominent features are emphasized by the use of bold lines and simplified forms. The artwork is considered a quintessential example of Modigliani's portraiture, known for its elegant lines, flattened planes, and vibrant colors. The subject's pose, with her hands clasped in her lap, conveys a sense of stillness and contemplation.
