Amedeo Modigliani is a 1914 by Nina Hamnett, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing depicts a man sitting on a chair, hunched over with his head down. His face is obscured, and his body is drawn in simple lines. The background is a light beige color. The drawing is quite simple, with minimal details. The artist has used a limited color palette, focusing on the subject's pose and expression. The overall mood of the drawing is contemplative, with the subject appearing lost in thought. The drawing is a good example of the artist's skill in capturing the essence of a moment. To learn more about the artist's technique, you can explore the concept of cross-hatching, which is a method of creating shading and texture in drawings.
A seated portrait drawing depicts Amedeo Modigliani leaning forward in a chair.

Nina Hamnett loved crashing Paris salons in paint-splattered clothes, calling herself the “Queen of the Bohemians.” She once jumped into the Seine just to prove a bet about her courage, then shrugged it off with a cigarette and another absinthe.
