Head of a Woman, Amedeo Modigliani

NGA, East Building, EG-103-A, E

This sculpture reflects Amedeo Modigliani’s distinctive stylization of figures, with the elongated features and almond-shaped eyes found in many of his paintings. Modigliani focused on sculpture from about 1909 to 1914, before his death from tuberculosis at age 35 in 1920.
