מותו בטרם עת של מודיליאני עקב שחפת בשנת 1920, בגיל 35, גזל מהעולם את אחד מאבות האמנות המודרנית. עבודתו הייתה מהפכנית; החיים והעבודה בפריז במהלך הרבע הראשון של המאה העשרים הציבו את האמן הצעיר במרכז ההתקדמות המשמעותית ביותר של הציור מאז האימפרסיוניזם, מספר עשורים קודם לכן.


לא ניתן היה להעריך במלואה את הקריירה הקצרה והמבריקה שלו, המלאה בציורי העירום הייחודיים שלו, מבלי להתייחס לגוף העבודות המשמעותי על נייר. "קריאטידה" מתייחס לפסלים האדריכליים היווניים, הקריאטידות. עמודים אלה, המגולפים בדמויות נשיות, מחזיקים את אנטבלטורה של מקדשים. מודליאני כינה את הנושא שלו


"עמודי רוך". רישום זה מציע דוגמה מוקדמת לקווים המעוקלים וצורות השקד המאפיינות את סגנונו הייחודי של מודליאני.
