From Peggy Guggenheim Collection:
This vivid portrait, painted in Paris in the second half of 1914, marks Amedeo Modigliani’s return to painting after a period of five years dedicated to sculpture. The sitter, Frank Burty Haviland, was a wealthy English amateur: a poet, a collector of African art, and a painter of small talent, who occupied a large studio near to Picasso’s and was known disparagingly to his friends as “Le Riche.” The red cravat and brown (velvet?) jacket, the aquiline noise, small mouth, and central parting of the hair, with curls, generate the aura of a Wildean aesthete. Standing before a window and with lowered eyes, he contemplates his pipe. Modigliani has surely elongated the curiously bell-shaped head.
