The Hat, the Dress, the Skin

In the painting, the black hat with a yellow brim is repeated in her dark dress and skin tones. All the shapes form a unified whole, balanced in its simplicity.

Her eyes are left unfinished. That gives her a transcendental, universal quality, which the Modigliani straw hat portrait is famous for.

Jeanne Hebuterne, Painter and Muse

Jeanne studied art in Paris and became Modigliani's companion. She posed for him often, and she was a painter in her own right.

The couple moved to Nice in 1918, and their daughter was born there. Jeanne died within days of Modigliani in January 1920.

Modigliani sculpted before he turned fully to painting, so the long neck and fingers translate naturally into three dimensions. The Jeanne Hebuterne statue lets you walk around that elongation.
