Girl in a Sailor's Blouse

Amedeo Modigliani

1918 · Oil on canvas · Modern and Contemporary Art

From March 1918 until May 1919 the ailing Modigliani lived in the south of France—mainly in Nice—to recuperate in the healthy climate. Lacking his usual coterie of friends, he employed local young servants, shopgirls, and children as models.
