Jeanne seated with the arm resting on the back of the chair is a 1918 oil by Amedeo Modigliani, held at Norton Simon Museum.
The painting depicts a woman seated in a chair, with her arm resting on the back of the chair. She is wearing a black dress with long sleeves and a red skirt. Her dark hair is pulled back into a bun, and she has a slender neck and elongated face. The background of the painting is a muted blue-grey color. The woman's facial expression is calm and serene, with a subtle hint of melancholy in her eyes. Her posture is relaxed, with her body leaning slightly to one side. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation and introspection. The painting's use of bold lines and flat colors creates a sense of simplicity and elegance, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject's gentle features. Next, look at works by Amedeo Modigliani.
