Standing Nude Woman (1905-1907) 7 by Amedeo Modigliani

Long before he became the poster boy for bohemian Paris, a young Modigliani was furiously sketching to find his unique style. This drawing pulses with energy, using scratchy, rapid lines to carve out a standing female figure that feels both fragile and bold. You can already spot the seeds of his famous look—the elongated torso and the face that nods to the African masks he admired. It’s like watching an artist think out loud, racing his pencil to capture the essence of a pose before it disappears.
