정면에서 본 잔 에뷔테른의 초상

By 1919 Amedeo Modigliani was living with Jeanne Hebuterne, a young painter he had met at an art academy in Paris, and he painted her more than 20 times in these last years. She was his most frequent model. He gives her the long neck and tilted oval face he gave nearly all his sitters, the eyes often left as flat blue or as blank almonds. Modigliani was gravely ill with tuberculosis while he made these portraits, and Jeanne was expecting their second child. He died in January 1920. Two days later Jeanne, nine months pregnant, took her own life. She was 21.
