Place in the artist's career

This canvas represents a turning point in Modigliani's career. At this time, he reaches an unparalleled artistic maturity, reminiscent of other canvases such as “Nude Woman” and “Portrait of a Young Woman.” These works testify to his exploration of form and color.

Anecdote

“Art is the experience of life translated into canvas ,” Modigliani might have said, recalling the inspiration that seized him one April morning as he observed a model with a voluptuous body under the soft light of his Parisian studio. This painting captures that delicate essence, that fleeting beauty.
