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 ?.

The sequence follows the published museum, sale, and catalogue record in this investigation. Gaps and uncertain transfers are marked as such.

Notes

The D’Atri papers contain an unnumbered photograph with the Renand provenance and the title La petite fille de l’épicier.

This investigation records the same sitter as two canvases dated 1918 on this investigation (girl with pigtails; girl with cap).

Published documentation for this file is thin. Catalogue numbers, exhibitions and bibliography are given only where this investigation recorded them.

The original 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.
