Q131585223 is a 1918 oil by Amedeo Modigliani, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting depicts a woman with long, dark hair and blue eyes, wearing a dark dress. She sits with her hands clasped together in her lap, gazing directly at the viewer. The background is a mix of warm and cool colors, with a dominant orange tone on the right side and a blue-green hue on the left. The woman's face is elongated, and her features are simplified, giving her an enigmatic expression. Her dark hair is pulled back, revealing her pale skin. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. The painting's use of bold colors and simplified forms creates a sense of intimacy and vulnerability.
