Note:

Picasso tells in one of his notes that he had among his possessions a "Good Modigliani" but that in a creative moment and in the absence of canvases,
he decided to use it to paint one of his paintings so it was lost forever.
Much later at Seeing the value reached by Modigliani, he decided to buy one from Paul Guillaume, in his words, he says not of the high quality of the
destroyed, but that he does not regret his action.
