- Lanthemann’s files later became mixed with the Archives Légales Modigliani associated with Parisot.
Jeanne Modigliani and Lanthemann did not treat the earlier published lists as closed.
A listing that appears only in Lanthemann is not treated as sufficient by the major auction houses.

. Amedeo Modigliani, 1884-1920: Catalogue Raisonné - Sa vie, son oeuvre complet, son art
Lanthemann, J.edited by Graficas Condal, Barcelona,1970. First Edition 2500 units.
The 1970 volume is a connoisseur catalogue with incomplete provenances.
Two printed entries are set beside the 1981 Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris laboratory notes:
| Page 227. As Nº 253-Description given in page 124: |  | 253. Femme aux boucles d'oreilles
(woman with earrings)
Oil on canvas, 65 x 43 cm.
signed in top right corner.
In this canvas (of magnificent colors), Modigliani applies some constructivist reminds, but overall is a example of deep psychology and of great art
No location, provenance, history, etc... | The truth is:
A complete fake...
French public art collections | IN AMEDEO MODIGLIANI, 1884-1920 BY THE MUSÉE DE ART MODERNE DE LA VILLE DE PARIS,
MARCH-JUNE 1981. PAGE 41 DR. SUZY DELBOURGO AND DR. LOLA FAILLANT-DUMAS FROM THE RESEARCH LABORATORIES OF THE FRENCH MUSEUMS EXPLAIN UNDER FAKE AND ATTRIBUTIONS:
THUS, THE PORTRAIT OF THE WOMAN WITH EARRINGS (Nº 253), X-RAY IMAGE SHOWS A DISORDERED IMAGE, WITHOUT PRECISE DRAWING, IN OPPOSITE OF THE IMAGES OBTAINED OF WORKS BY MODIGLIANI.
CONTOURS AND BORDERS ARE MADE WITH BRUSHSTROKES PARALLEL TO THE CONTOURS OF THE FACE AND ALONG THE NECK. (MODIGLIANI NEVER PAINTED/CONSTRUCTED THAT WAY)
THE BACKGROUND IS NOT CORRECTLY WORKED, IT IS EMPTY. NOT AS IN MODIGLIANI WHO MADE THEM ANIME AND VIBRANT. |
| Page 229. As Nº 261-Description given in page 124: |  | 261. Femme brunee, 1918
Oil on canvas, 15M.*
signed in top right corner.
In this emotive portrait you can see a deep tenderness and a deep psychology
No location, provenance, history, etc... | The truth is:
A complete fake...

To make it easier for him and avoid measuring, he decided to use common fabric canvas sizes, the best way to not have one correct.
They were all pre-industrial so no exact measure apply.
X ray and pigments analysis showed a 30's forgery | In Amedeo Modigliani, 1884-1920 by the Musée de art moderne de la Ville de Paris,
March-June 1981. Page 41 Dr. Suzy Delbourgo and Dr. Lola Faillant-Dumas from the research laboratories of the French museums explain under fake and attributions:
Same case as previous, X-ray image shows a disordered image, the structure of the work is not constructed, the contours are out of placement opposite as modigliani , the line has been painted over the figure, the brush stoke is formed by long, plain and dull brush work in opposite to Modigliani brush work configured or round and perpendicular brush play.

Thérèse Castieau-Barielle (La vie et l' oeuvre de Amadeo Modigliani, ACR Édition/Vilo) and Christian Parisot (Modigliani, Caja de pensiones, Madrid/June 1983) also show this work as an original by Modigliani.

Auction notes still cite the name when a Ceroni number is also present.
If a Modigliani painting only bears the opinion by Lanthemann, it will never hit the floor of the main auction houses
The compilation is incomplete as a catalogue raisonné.
