Béatrice Hastings by Amedeo Modigliani is a striking portrait of the British poet and writer, with whom Modigliani had a turbulent relationship. Known for his elongated figures and stylized forms, Modigliani portrays Hastings with a sense of mystery and introspection. The long neck, almond-shaped eyes, and simplified facial features are typical of Modigliani’s unique approach to portraiture, which blends realism with abstraction. The soft, muted colors and smooth brushstrokes lend a sense of melancholy to the piece, reflecting the emotional intensity of both the artist and the subject.
