There are 3 paintings very similar in size and composition

The painting was fully analyzed during the The Modigliani Technical Research Study, Modigliani’s late portraits, The Burlington Magazine, London, May 2018 with the
companion of the other similar composition and the results showed various corrections, the holes in the canvas, the paining method and the presence of pigments concordant
with the known Modigliani Palette.

In resume the main identified colors/pigments in both portraits are:

1.- Lead White
2.- Zinc white
3.- Chrome orange
4.- Ochre (Brown Ochre / Yellow Ochre)
5.- Vermilion
6.- Bone black
7.- Cadmium yellow
8.- Calcite

This does not means that a painting has to present the 8/10 pigments, it was his palette at that time in 1918.
(the Zinc white for instance is only found in the preparation layer and the Ochers also the Calcite in the support)

General Museum technical studies have reached the conclusion that is a very short palette, a simple range made with pre industrial oils (non artisan, but small scale industrial oils).
