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
- Private collection?
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. Where this investigation listed a long run of secondary mentions, only the principal catalogues and museum or sale references are retained here.
- No book-length catalogue entry is recorded in this investigation beyond Parisot’s inclusion.
Exhibitions
- No exhibition is recorded in this investigation.
Notes
Not listed in the D’Atri papers.
The work is absent from Pfannstiel, Ceroni and, on this investigation’s reading, Patani. Parisot includes it and describes it as a collaboration.
This investigation notes that the work has not been examined in person, and in several cases not in a reliable colour reproduction.
Published documentation for this file is thin. Catalogue numbers, exhibitions and bibliography are given only where the source recorded them.
The documentation assembled for this investigation marked several fields as still being checked. The facts above are those already published; where sources disagree, both readings are given.
