About the piece

Painted in 1916, this portrait of the French poet Max Jacob showcases Amedeo Modigliani's celebrated modernist style. Characterized by elongated features, almond-shaped eyes, and a warm, earthy palette, the work captures the sitter's essence through elegant distortion and bold lines typical of the Parisian avant-garde.
