Detail of the ear made in sharp point (the triangle style ear) where the drawing with colors and black detail is visible and is painted over the color (on top of the color)
Modigliani used to do small sketches of the face and shoulders for later bigger portraits, in this case
the sketch is known as
Woman of Algiers, actually in Cologne
(not take it as a sketch they can be different to the final composition and with their own status as independent artworks)
