This painting presents holes in the 4 corners all covered

The painting went on study during the 1981 study by the RNMF with undoubted Modigliani hand

The painting has been recently cleaned and the restoration is in my opinion magnificent since it respected all the reds/oranges of the skintones and
at the same time recovered the blues and redish browns so similar to Cezanne present all over the Modigliani production.
