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. Prevosti Collection, Buenos Aires (said to have been acquired or received as a gift in 1919–20; held until 1982).
  2. Private collection, Buenos Aires, 1982.
  3. Private collection, United States (by inheritance from the above).

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.

Notes

Not listed in the D’Atri papers.

This investigation suggests the panel may be a sketch related to another Lunia profile composition.

In 2010 MR informed the owners that, on the knowledge then available, there was no intention to publish the painting in his catalogue raisonné.

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.
