Signature of the painting:

Detail of the ear where the drawing is clearly visible and is painted over the color (on top of the color)

This is one of those paintings that are extremely rare to see a new image.
Usually is said by experts that is Raymond Radiguet portrait, but the painting shows a grown up man, not a boy.
Link to the sitter biography
The sitter was born in 1903 and this painting is dated by Modigliani in 1915 so the sitter was 12 years?, so I stand for another person not Raymond Radiguet.
Biographers say he lived in Val de Marne (close to Paris) until 1917.
This is a photo of Radiguet with Cocteau in 1923 (8 years later to the painting):
Radiguet in 1921-22:
Radiguet in 1921:
Radiguet by Picasso in 1920:
There are other 2 portraits attributed to Modigliani of Radiguet:
Raymond dated in 1915
Raymond dated in 1910 -1915 ?
Some experts even mention the silly thing that Radiguet shared the love of Hastings with Modigliani and that his novel "the devil in the flesh" was related to that situation.
Nonsense:
1.- Hastings was not married to Modigliani
2.- Hastings was long divorced
3.- Radiguet was 12?
4.- Hastings was far from the sinner affection reflected in the novel.
