Jeanne Hébuterne - Portrait de Chaïm Soutine , 1919.
Jeanne Hébuterne met Modigliani at the end of 1916. This relationship would have a profound effect on her work as an artist. The two painters, based in a studio on rue de la Grande Chaumière, painted side by side and even shared models. Jeanne Hébuterne was asked to paint a portrait of Soutine, a friend of Modigliani. In this oil on canvas, rare in the artist's output, she gives us one of her most accomplished compositions. It is a portrait with an unsettling presence, in a palette that harmoniously blends warm, ochre tones with cooler ones, revealing many facets of her model's personality.
