Product Description
Girl in a Sailor's Blouse 1918 Amedeo Modigliani ,Italian. Vintage art by a master. A great gift for art lovers and a piece that lifts the decor by its presence. Classical art in public domain. NYMM. 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.
