“Portrait of Jeanne Hébuterne” is an oil on canvas painting created in 1918 by the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani in Paris, France. This piece, belonging to the Expressionism art movement, is a portrait with dimensions of 46 by 29 centimeters and is currently housed in a private collection.
The artwork features a stylized portrayal of Jeanne Hébuterne, characterized by elongated facial features and a serene expression. The use of muted, earthy tones combined with the simplified form captures the essence of Modigliani’s distinctive style. Hébuterne’s long auburn hair cascades around her face, and her dark eyes are depicted with a slight asymmetry that adds to the expressionistic quality of the piece. Her expression is contemplative, with a soft, enigmatic smile. The background is minimalist, allowing the viewer’s focus to remain on the subject’s facial expression and presence.
