This painting was part of the Modigliani technical research study in 2018

Extract from:
The Modigliani technical research study "Modigliani’s late portraits"
Bezur, Campos, Centeno, Duvernois, Josenhans, Londero, Gonçalves, Rizzuto, Schwarz
Burlington Magazine CLX - May 2018, pp. 400-4007

------------------------------------

In this painting the identification of the pigments is:

1.- Chrome yellow or Chrome Orange (orange requires further study to contrast presence)
2.- Lead and Zinc white
3.- Vermilion
4.- Ochre
5.- Prussian blue
6.- Bone black
7.- Emerald green

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).

in the background preparation:
1.- Barium white and lead white

A Venezia court declared this little sketch as original by Modigliani, it would be the sketch for the larger composition?

Similar to what we can see in the X-ray of the Burgundian & the Jeanne Hébuterne in bed?
