Accession # 1999.363.56

Known for his sensual nudes and totemic sculptures Modigliani always painted his portraits from the model and usually finished them in one sitting. From March 1918 until May 1918 he and his mistress, Jeanne Hebuterne (1898-1920), lived in the south of France due to the artist's deteriorating health. During this time, Modigliani employed local servants, shop girls and children as his models.
