Description
Amedeo Modigliani’s Jean Cocteau portrays the writer seated in a dark jacket with a bright white collar. His long face and neck rise above sharply angled shoulders, while yellow-toned hands rest near the bottom of the canvas. Warm architectural shapes define the room behind him.
Painted in 1916, the portrait sets an elegant, formal appearance against Modigliani’s strikingly simplified anatomy. The white collar and pocket detail sharpen the dark clothing, while the sitter’s asymmetrical posture brings movement to the otherwise composed arrangement.
