Detail of signature in visible normal light:

The eyes are treated in a very schematic, as in the works of the period 16-17 but the coloring and the incarnation is closer to the works of period 18-19,
although the deformation of the left eyelid is clearly related to the Period of 1916 , it is undoubted that the nose and the nasal bridge are the work of
1918-1919, in the same work we can see the evolution of Modigliani, as is usual in his work.
