Portrait of Jeanne Hébuterne in a Large Hat, 1918 by Amedeo Modigliani

Created in 1918, this painting encapsulates the spirit of Jeanne Hébuterne, Modigliani's cherished companion. Portrait of Jeanne Hébuterne in a Large Hat serves as a tribute to the closeness and intricacies of their relationship, expressed through Modigliani's signature elongation of shapes and stylized characteristics.

The artwork depicts Jeanne in a reflective stance, graced with a grand, stylish hat that frames her elongated neck and almond-shaped eyes. These features are emblematic of Modigliani, infusing the portrait with an air of grace and surrealism. The subdued color scheme, primarily composed of gentle blues, greens, and natural hues, amplifies the painting's tranquil and contemplative atmosphere.
