More about this artwork
This painting titled "Woman with Red Hair" by Amedeo Modigliani is a beautiful example of the artist’s signature style, characterized by elongated forms and stylized features. The subject of the painting is a woman with striking red hair, softly curled at the ends, that frames her face gently. Her complexion is pale, and her features are minimalistic yet expressive, with a slightly elongated face, delicate pink lips, and eyes that gaze off to her right, lending her a dreamy and introspective appearance.She is dressed in a dark, possibly black dress with a wide, light-colored lace or frothy collar that adds a delicate contrast to the otherwise simple and somber attire. Her posture is relaxed; she rests one arm on the back of a wooden chair, suggesting a casual yet graceful composure. The background of the painting is mostly a muted blend of greens and grays, creating a subdued atmosphere that further emphasizes the gentle yet melancholic aura of the woman.Modigliani’s brushwork is visible in the texture of the canvas, particularly in the lively application of paint in her hair and the smooth rendering of her skin. The overall effect is both intimate and distant, capturing the viewer’s attention while keeping the subject’s inner world elegantly veiled.

Born in Livorno, Italy, Modigliani (1884-1920) later moved to Paris in 1906. There he was acquainted with many great artists including Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, and Constantin Brancusi. Inspired by the artworks of Edvard Munch, Paul Cézanne, and Toulouse Lautrec, Modigliani has developed his signature style: portraits and sensual nudes with long, simplified forms, and elongated mask-like faces featuring eyes with no pupils.
