Amedeo Modigliani - Elena Povolozky (1917)

 In the 1917 portrait of Hélène Joséphine Bernier Povolozky, Amedeo Modigliani harmoniously combined elegant lines and melancholy spirit with the professional technical base of the time. The eye-catching color palette and strong plastic modeling of the face through color modulation reveal Modigliani's mastery of the lessons of Cézanne; the mood of wistful sadness, characteristic of late portraits, shows him at the height of his power.
