As Christie's noted in their sale catalogue, "[This portrait reflects] the relationship between Amedeo Modigliani and Jeanne Hébuterne between 1917 and 1920 - a relationship which was passionate, excessive and tragic (Jeanne Hébuterne committed suicide, pregnant with their second child, two days after the death of Modigliani from tubercular meningitis in 1920), but also profoundly artistic. The two artists had a reciprocal relationship. Modigliani, whose artistic style was already mature, bore a deep admiration for his young companion (whose swan-like appearance was a significant inspiration to him) and Hébuterne's art meanwhile constantly evolved under the influence of Modigliani's intensity.".
