Legal note on MR: This investigation has not had access to MR’s catalogue raisonné; all research here is based on open sources, publications and exhibitions. By no means has that catalogue been copied at any point. Modigliani Project and Modigliani Initiative are marked YES when the work is published or otherwise recorded by those projects, even if no catalogue number is assigned; otherwise the field is marked ?.

Provenance

  1. Léopold Zborowski, Paris.
  2. Thereafter unrecorded.

The sequence follows the published museum, sale, and catalogue record in this investigation. Gaps and uncertain transfers are marked as such.

Selected bibliography

Book-length publications are marked with a footnote giving a full citation. Exhibition catalogues appear in both this list and the exhibition list when this investigation recorded them in both places.

Exhibitions

Notes

Present as a photograph in the D’Atri papers, not in the final lists.

This investigation records a certification by Jeanne Modigliani that is probably for this painting.

This investigation notes that the work has not been examined in person and, in several cases, not even in a reliable colour reproduction.

The original page of this investigation marked several fields as still being checked. The facts above are those already published; where the sources disagree, both readings are given.
