The painting Girl in a Sailor’s Blouse (1918) was created by the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. It is an oil on canvas portrait that exemplifies his signature Expressionist style.
The artwork features a young woman with characteristic Modigliani elongations in her face and neck, with serene blue eyes, set against a muted background. The painting is currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Modigliani painted several portraits during this period while recuperating in the south of France, often using local people as models.
