Amedeo Modigliani

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a person's head and partial upper torso. The head is tilted slightly downward and to the side, with long, wavy lines suggesting hair. The facial features are minimally indicated, with faint outlines for the eyes and mouth, while the nose is more pronounced with angular lines. The person appears to be wearing no visible clothing or accessories. The background is plain and unadorned, with some text and scribbles near the left side of the drawing. The entire composition is rendered in pencil on a light-colored paper.
