About the piece

Painted in 1917, this work exemplifies Amedeo Modigliani’s mature style, characterized by simplified, elongated silhouettes and mask-like facial features. The composition’s warmth is anchored by a rich terracotta background, while the vibrant blue of the cushion provides a modern, energetic counterpoint that elevates the piece for contemporary decor.
