The original painting was painted by Amedeo Modigliani a year before he died. The painting is in the Collection of Mr and Mrs Francisco Matarazzo Sobrinho, Sao Paulo, Brazil. In this self-portrait Modigliani made no attempt at Likeliness, He has deliberately - for stylistic reasons - drawn out and extended his handsome face. For he had finely chiseled features, with one of those strong, willful chins one so often meets with in people, who, like Modigliani, are not strong-willed at all. The picture comes alive thanks to the pervasive rhythm of the artist's characteristic linework, all grace and simplicity, always noble and expressive. See less
