Woman's Head

"Woman's Head" by Amedeo Modigliani, an influential Italian artist from the Expressionism movement, portrays a woman with a distinctly elongated face and neck, signature elements of Modigliani's style. The pseudonym for his works reflect his inspiration from both antiquity and the Renaissance. The portrait, painted with richly colored oil on cardboard, features pronounced, sculptural lines, demonstrating influence from his days exhibiting with the Cubists of the Section d'Or group. Despite initial resistance to his surreal style, Modigliani's works became highly sought-after posthumously.
