Seated Nude
1913-1914
Modigliani’s *Nudo seduto* captures a seated woman with his signature elongated neck and almond-shaped eyes, rendered in striking blue-green lines. Created in Paris around 1913, this drawing showcases the artist's fascination with simplifying forms, likely influenced by the Cubist movement and his sculptor friend Constantin Brancusi, though he carved out his own unique, lyrical style. The figure sits with a quiet, almost melancholic grace, her body reduced to elegant curves against the aged paper. It’s a beautiful example of how Modigliani could convey so much emotion with just a few sweeping strokes.
