Galerie Mont Woman with a fan – Amedeo Modigliani^ Modigliani

Woman with a Fan is a painting that embodies subtle elegance in its depiction of a female figure holding a fan. The lines are fluid but deliberate, capturing the essence of the woman’s posture and tranquil expression. The artist, Amedeo Modigliani, is known for his distinctively styled portraits, with elongated faces and brushstrokes that seem to dance across the canvas, and this painting is no exception.

The deep red background counterbalances the soft yellow and white of the woman’s outfit, creating an eye-catching visual harmony. The face, devoid of superfluous detail, draws attention to the eyes, which although simply drawn, seem to carry a deep melancholy. This portrait uses colour and form to convey an atmosphere rather than a detailed narrative, a characteristic of the painter’s work in the École de Paris of the early 20th century.
