About the piece

Painted in 1918, this portrait of actor Gaston Modot is a quintessential example of Amedeo Modigliani’s unique modernist vision. The artist employs his characteristic vertical stretching and simplified facial features to create a work that is both deeply personal and elegantly abstract, making it a sophisticated addition to a contemporary or traditional gallery wall.
