Tête de femme (Head of a Woman) is a painting by the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, created during the early 20th century. Modigliani, known for his distinctive style characterized by elongated forms, simplified features, and a sense of introspection, was a prominent figure in the École de Paris, a group of international artists working in the French capital.

This artwork is one of Modigliani's many portraits that reflect his fascination with the human form and his ability to convey emotion through minimalistic yet expressive techniques. The subject of the painting, as the title suggests, is a woman’s head. The identity of the sitter is not definitively known, as Modigliani often painted individuals from his social circle, including friends, lovers, and acquaintances, as well as professional models. The painting exemplifies his signature style, with an elongated neck, almond-shaped eyes, and a serene yet enigmatic expression.

Modigliani's work was heavily influenced by various artistic movements and traditions, including African sculpture, Renaissance art, and the modernist trends of his time. These influences are evident in the stylized features and the sculptural quality of the portrait. His approach to portraiture was unique in that he sought to capture the essence of his subjects rather than their exact physical likeness, resulting in works that feel both timeless and deeply personal.

The exact date of creation for Tête de femme is not always clearly documented, as Modigliani rarely dated his works. However, it is generally attributed to his mature period, likely between 1915 and 1919, when he was living and working in Paris. During this time, Modigliani was associated with other avant-garde artists, including Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brâncuși, and was deeply immersed in the vibrant artistic community of Montparnasse.

Modigliani's career was tragically short, as he died in 1920 at the age of 35 due to tuberculosis. Despite his relatively brief life and limited output, his work has had a lasting impact on the art world. Today, his paintings and sculptures are celebrated for their unique aesthetic and emotional depth.

Tête de femme is held in a private collection or museum, depending on the specific version referenced, as Modigliani created multiple works with similar titles and themes. The painting continues to be admired for its elegance and the artist’s ability to distill complex human emotions into a deceptively simple composition.
