Bust of a Woman is a 1919 oil by Amedeo Modigliani, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
This painting shows a woman's head and shoulders. She has dark, curly hair and dark eyes. Her skin is pale, and her lips are red. She is wearing a dark top. The background is a muted grey color. The woman's face is the main focus of the painting, and her features are simplified and elongated. Her eyes are cast downward, giving her an introspective look. The artist's use of bold lines and simple shapes creates a sense of elegance and sophistication. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up impasto.
