“Woman’s Head,” created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1915 in Paris, France, is an oil painting on canvas belonging to the Expressionism movement. The artwork measures 35 x 27 cm and is a portrait genre piece currently held in a private collection.
The artwork captures a woman’s head rendered in Modigliani’s characteristic style, which is notable for its distinct elongation and stylization. The artist uses bold, dark lines to outline the features of the woman’s face, juxtaposed against a muted, beige backdrop. Modigliani’s brushwork appears spontaneous, hinting at both confidence and fluidity in his technique, emphasizing the expressive quality of the portrait. The composition is simple yet evocative, showcasing the artist’s ability to convey depth of emotion and personality with minimalistic forms.
