Bronze Statue - Woman's Head (1912) - Amedeo Modigliani

The original of the noble "Woman's Head" was created in 1912 by Amedeo Modigliani. This testimony of rapt beauty was inspired by the sculptural art of Africa. It shows instantly Modigliani's fascination with the classical African and Etruscan sculptures. The classical caryatids with their vertical lining, their elongated faces and their modest beauty inspired him. The meditative and contemplative gesture, which suggests the physiognomy of the "Woman's Head", radiates an atmosphere of tranquility, the viewer can hardly avoid. The artfully draped hair accentuates the extraordinary grace of Modigliani’s Woman's Head. The figure corresponds to the original and is signed with Modigliani.
