Kneeling Figure)". 24.5*18.2 cm Medium: Mixed media on paper Date of creation: circa 1913-1915 Signature: Modigliani (lower left) This sketch of the Caryatid originates from Modigliani's sculptural explorations. He once dreamed of building a "Temple of Beauty", supported by these idealised female figures. Though the ambitious sculptural project was never realised, these works on paper stand as vital testimony to his artistic vision, demonstrating his consummate pursuit of line, volume and the beauty of the human form.
