The artwork, titled “Portrait of Jeanne Hebuterne,” was created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1919 in Paris, France. Rendered in oil on canvas, the piece measures 55 x 39 cm and belongs to the Expressionist movement. It is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a female figure characterized by notable elongation and stylization typical of Modigliani’s portraiture. The subject, Jeanne Hebuterne, is presented against a textured and somewhat abstract background, which conveys a sense of depth and atmosphere. Her face is elongated with distinct, almond-shaped eyes, a narrow nose, and full lips painted with a muted, yet expressive palette. The sitter’s expression appears serene and introspective, encapsulated by Modigliani’s masterful use of form, color, and simplicity.
