La femme au ruban de velours, 1915 (oil on paper) by Modigliani, Amedeo (1884-1920); 54 x 45,5 cm; The portrait shows us stylized facial features that stand out against the sinuous background and the profound perspective obtained from the color levels, which in several points let us glimpse the white of the canvas. With its bright tones and its softness, velvet has always been a symbol of wealth and nobility, thanks to the woman's ribbon we can understand and imagine her social status. On the day of Amedeo's funeral, January 27, 1920, the painting exhibition organized by Paul Guillaume at the Devambez Gallery opens to the public. The head of a woman with the velvet ribbon appears among the works by Modigliani exhibited.
