Girl in a Sailor's Blouse. Artist: Amedeo Modigliani (Italian, Livorno 1884-1920 Paris). Dimensions: 25 3/4 × 18 1/4 in. (65.4 × 46.4 cm). Date: 1918.
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.
