Other | There is a copy or sketch of this painting made in cardboard from a private collection in France that was discarded as an original during the 1981 study or the RNM but should require a more in deep study. it was discarded because of the lack of quality of the visual aspect but all the other aspects were perfect (could it be a quick sketch unfinished or simply a bad day at work?) The provenance of this sketch can be tracked to Dutilleul Collection as it is seen in a photo from Dutilleul paintings. See: Musée de Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Modigliani exib. cat., 1981, p. 45 Image of Dutilleul treasures where the sketch can be clearly seen: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Detail of the ear where the drawing is visible and is painted over the color (on top of the color) |
