Contrasting treatment of paint distinguishes this portrait of an unknown model. Modigliani probably painted the work using a very fine brush, and the subject's finely drawn features, the subtle pink highlights in the face, and the energetic treatment of the background are all characteristic of the artist's work. Some people who posed for Modigliani recalled that he could be very messy, working intensely, untroubled by the paint he splashed in the process.
