Notes
Not listed in the D’Atri papers?
This investigation notes that the work has not been examined in person, and in several cases not in a reliable colour reproduction.
Henry Pearlman published a reminiscence of a Modigliani portrait of Jeanne Hébuterne that circulated repeatedly at Parke-Bernet and later at Christie’s, London, and that appeared in the 1961 Boston–Los Angeles exhibition, hung in an inconspicuous position. Pearlman and several dealers regarded the canvas as not autograph. This investigation associates that account with this work. The identification is not independently confirmed here; the reminiscence is recorded as published (Pearlman Collection website, “Fakes”).
Published documentation for this work is limited. Catalogue numbers, exhibitions and bibliography are given only where they are recorded in this investigation.
This investigation marked several fields as still being checked. The facts above are those already published; where sources disagree, both readings are given.
