The painting depicts a young woman's head, her face turned slightly to the left. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a white top. The background is a muted blue-gray color. The woman's features are simplified, with a long neck and a small mouth. Her eyes are cast downward, and her eyebrows are thin and straight. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. The artist's use of bold lines and flat colors creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. Look up more works by Amedeo Modigliani.
