The artwork titled “Jeanne Hébuterne” was created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1919 in Paris, France. This piece, rendered in oil on canvas, belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is classified under the genre of portraiture. Measuring 54 by 38 centimeters, the artwork is currently housed in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, Israel.
The artwork portrays a woman seated against a simple, muted background which enhances the subject’s prominent features. Modigliani’s distinctive elongated style is evident in the subject’s face and neck, contributing to the expressionist depiction. The woman’s serene, almost melancholic demeanor is complemented by the subdued color palette. Her hands are clasped gently in her lap, and she dons a blue blouse with patterned sleeves and a black skirt. The overall composition exudes a sense of quiet introspection, characteristic of Modigliani’s portraits.
