Madame Amédée (Woman with Cigarette)

Amedeo Modigliani, 1918

This painting shows a portrait of a woman, depicted from the thighs up. She is seated with her body and head facing forward. She has pale skin, rounded cheeks with a slight blush, a small, red mouth, thin eyebrows, and lined eyes that slant downward towards her ears. Her brown hair is styled in waves, framing her face. She is wearing a black dress with a V-neck, and in her ears are dangling gold earrings. Her left hand is on her hip, with her right resting on her crossed legs, a cigarette between her fingers. She is sitting on a red wooden chair, and the background is a vibrant red color with earthy yellow sections in the top left and right corners.
