Christian Parisot in his "CONDITION REPORT" dated 2005, say this is the result of the Pigments study & analysis:

1.- Lead White (Céruse)
2.- Cadmium Yellow
3.- Chromium orange
4.- Vermillon
5.- Red oxid iron (Rouge oxyde de fer)
6.- Organic provenance black
7.- Prussian Blue

NOTE: in the dossier there is not a single line saying where or by whom the study was made, only a huge signature by Christian Parisot in every page...

During the 2011 Pushkin exhibit this came to the press:

The questioning began when a Russian collector who was once interested in purchasing the work sent it in for scientific testing by the Swiss Institute for Art Research.
The collector, who wishes to remain anonymous, said, "After 40 days, I got the evaluation back from the institute, which indicated that some of the pigments used in this
painting were synthetic, produced after 1940.
" He decided against purchasing the painting only to find it now hanging in a museum.The collector isn't the only one who's concerned, but not all are in agreement with him.
The president of the Modigliani Institute in Rome, Christian Parisot, believes it to be a genuine portrait. Parisot has the legal right to authenticate works. In addition, he claims
to possess a document by Marevna stating she posed for Modigliani.

NOTE: based in my experience is the classical procedure of another French expert to take Parisot out of the market, he usually does this tricks to try to control the market...
(anyway Parisot also did it with Patani previously, so there is nothing new, just karma, that will also reach the french sooner or later)
