Follow the bright red collar down to the pale blue skirt, then see how her clasped hands hold the dark bundle at the center.
Modigliani painted this young mother in 1919, the year before he died. The museum’s title names her only as a Roma woman. The baby is wrapped so tightly in a navy blanket that little more than a long pink cap shows.
