Note in the Curatorial file of the museum:
The painting is in excellent condition. The original canvas, of inexpensive, coarsely woven linen and jute, was
lined in 1960 and mounted on an ICA-type spring stretcher; at that time the dimensions of the canvas were
enlarged slightly to fit more securely in the existing frame. Written in black paint on the back of the original
canvas at upper left (now obscured by the lining fabric) is: Modigliani. / 3 Joseph Bara. / Paris. / 1917.11 A
thin, dark grey ground was applied to the face of the canvas, apparently an oil paint. The paint surface has a
markedly rough texture, with sharp ridges and points of impasto, suggesting that the paint may have been
applied with a stippled touch instead of strokes. The dark grey ground is exposed between forms in the lower
portion of the picture. In 1983, discolored varnish and overpaint (primarily in the area of the model's left
wrist and belly) were removed, and minor losses (associated with a small puncture in the area of the model's
wrist) were inpainted.
The vertical dimensions of the stretcher were increased by 7/16 in. (1.1 cm) when the painting was lined
in 1960; the original height was 25 3/4 in. (64.4 cm).

The same sitter can be recognized in other paintings by Modigliani, with an undoubted match in the Guggenheim & private collection paintings:
