About the piece

Painted circa 1918, this portrait showcases Amedeo Modigliani's iconic style, characterized by simplified features and elegant, elongated lines. The subject, a young boy in a tailored ochre jacket, is rendered with a quiet dignity against a textured, coral-toned interior, exemplifying the artist's unique contribution to early 20th-century modernism.
