The work displays the stylistic hallmarks that define his mature period. The subject features the elongated neck and oval face characteristic of his approach to the human form. Her eyes are rendered as simple, closed slits, which removes the possibility of direct engagement with the viewer and creates a sense of internalised calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is minimal. The figure occupies the centre of the frame against a muted, textured background of olive and grey tones. This choice of palette directs attention to the subject's features, specifically the contrast between her pale skin, the stark white of her blouse, and the dark, flowing line of the black tie. Modigliani uses a simplified colour scheme to maintain focus on the rhythmic, curving lines that define the silhouette of the sitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModigliani was influenced by both the Italian Renaissance and the African sculpture he encountered in Paris. These influences manifest here in the mask-like quality of the face and the reduction of anatomical detail to essential, elegant shapes. The brushwork is visible but controlled, contributing to the overall sense of balance within the frame. This portrait captures a specific mood of quietude, typical of the artist's work during the late 1910s. It is a study in form and line, where the physical appearance of the sitter is secondary to the artist's pursuit of a particular aesthetic harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/naakte-vrouw-nude-woman-meijer-bleekrode\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNaakte vrouw (Nude Woman) - Meijer Bleekrode — Meijer Bleekrode\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/composition-2-wassily-kandinsky\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eComposition 2 - Wassily Kandinsky — Wassily Kandinsky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Amedeo Modigliani","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58844508520783,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58844538765647,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58844538798415,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58844538831183,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58844538863951,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-a-Woman-in-a-Black-Tie_Poster_CompositorV1_1790029676634.jpg?v=1790030339","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-black-tie-amedeo-modigliani","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
