FRAMING INFORMATION
1st Art Gallery offers the option to receive your painting ready to hang or rolled in a tube.
Currently, for safety, we're able to ship framed paintings only up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached, the framing option is automatically disabled.
However, if you are interested in stretching or framing a painting larger than 24x36 inches (60x90 cm), please contact one of our customer success associates or let us know in your order notes. We will send you a catalog of our large framing styles and pricing options.
Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.


Ever the accomplished portrait artist, the Italian Amedeo Modigliani continuously developed his style and aesthetics, slowly departing from a more academic form to the Modernist trendsetter that he would become immortalized as in the art world. That is not to say that such development was linear, or could be easily perceived in the artist’s body of work. Instead, it was a tortuous process, where different features developed in very different ways, at very different rates, and, most importantly, present in various combinations in each painting. As such, while there are some defining features of Modigliani’s work, it is not at all uncommon to find pieces that seem to be lacking one or two of them in some way.
Take this beautiful oil on canvas, for example, painted in 1918 and now in possession of the Barnes Collection, in Philadelphia. Portraying a now unknown woman with bright red hair, it bears some of the most critical features that define Modigliani’s late work, but there are a few innovations that are not common to the rest of his work, as well as some returns to stylistic choices that would not usually appear in those later years of his career. To understand that, it is important to note that Modigliani’s style often respected its subject matter, meaning that, while recognizable as works by the same artist, there are marked differences in technique between his portraits and his paintings of nudes, for example. The portraits lack the eroticism and enticement present in the nude paintings, while the nudes do not possess the emotional depth that the portraits bring up.
In this piece, we have a middle ground between the nude and portrait styles, in that the composition approaches that of the nudes, but from the subject matter of a portrait. As such, we have a portrait with a wider angle and a more seductive approach. The brushwork is much more delicate than what Modigliani would usually use for portraits, and the thick round brush used for the model’s skin creates an almost tactile visual experience, inviting the observer to feel the touch of her flesh. The way in which she is dressed too reinforces the eroticism, in that bold new fashion would mean a more liberal mindset, indicating a liberated woman, not shackled by the behavioral standards of 19th century French society.
