From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
Born to a Sephardic Jewish family in Livorno, Italy, Amedeo Modigliani studied briefly in Florence and Venice before moving to Paris in 1906 where he became a key member of the avant-garde art world. His portraits, known for their subtle color and elegantly elongated forms, chronicle the lives of fellow artists and poets, although the woman in this painting remains unidentified. Modigliani drew and painted from an early age; when he was 11 years old, his mother predicted that he would become an artist.
