About the piece

Painted around 1918, this work by Amedeo Modigliani depicts Hanka Zborowska, the wife of the artist's close friend and dealer. The painting demonstrates the artist's unique aesthetic, influenced by African masks and Mannerist sculpture, characterized by swan-like neck elongation and enigmatic, pupilless eyes. The subtle tonal shifts in the background and the dark, simplified clothing allow the warm flesh tones of the subject to remain the focal point.
