A suffering nude

Amedeo Modigliani painted A Suffering Nude around 1909 in Paris, an Expressionist oil on canvas measuring 81 x 54 cm. The female figure conveys emotional intensity through Modigliani's characteristic style: elongated forms, rich textures, and psychological depth.

This early work predates Modigliani's famous series of reclining nudes from 1917. The title suggests emotional or physical distress, rendered with the thick, expressive brushwork that defined his approach. It currently hangs in a private collection.
