Standing Nude Woman (1905-1907) 2
Modigliani was famous for his elongated figures, and this early sketch shows that signature style emerging, likely influenced by the Cubist movement of the time. The woman stands with a graceful, almost swaying pose, her body stretched out like taffy with long, elegant limbs that seem to defy normal proportions. Her face is barely more than a suggestion, with heavy eyes giving her a dreamy, distant look. Created around 1905-1907, this drawing captures the artist experimenting with form before he became fully known for his polished paintings, feeling like a raw, intimate snapshot of a studio session.
