Jeanne Hébuterne con sombrero grande

Modigliani painted his companion Jeanne Hébuterne many times, and this comes from around 1918, when the two left wartime Paris for the south of France hoping the climate would ease his failing health. She had trained as a painter herself at a Paris academy before they met. He gives her his signature treatment: a long oval face, a swan's neck, almond eyes left almost blank, all set under a broad dark hat with a yellow brim. He was tubercular and had little time left. He died early in 1920, and Jeanne, pregnant with their second child, died two days after him.
