About the piece

Painted in 1917, 'Boy in Sailor Suit' exemplifies Amedeo Modigliani’s unique modernist style, characterized by elongated faces and almond-shaped eyes. The contrast between the boy's dark navy uniform and the luminous white collar creates a striking focal point against the gestural, atmospheric background.
