From $100
This portrait is stripes of blue and cream on warm tones, and a cheap copy blurs the stripes. Our Modigliani Boy in a Striped Sweater print was graded from a high-resolution master so every stripe stays crisp.
Canvas, framed or paper
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
Sizes
20x36 inch, 24x40 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its tall shape suits a child’s room, a hallway or a narrow wall. The blues and creams look fresh with white, navy and pale oak, and a natural or white frame suits it.
About the painting
Boy in a Striped Sweater by Amedeo Modigliani
The south of France, 1918
In the spring of 1918, to escape wartime Paris, Modigliani went south to Nice and Cagnes with Jeanne Hébuterne and the Zborowskis. With few models there, he painted local children and young people.
Stripes
He painted the boy seated, his hands in his lap, in a striped sweater, his face long and his eyes almond-shaped. Modigliani preferred to paint indoors, and only a handful of landscapes by him are known.
The Met
It belonged to Jacques and Natasha Gelman, whose great collection of modern art came to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1998.
Read the story
A boy sits with his hands in his lap, in a striped sweater.
In the spring of 1918, to get away from wartime Paris, Modigliani went south to Nice and Cagnes, with Jeanne Hébuterne and the Zborowskis. There were few models there, so he painted the local children and young people.
Modigliani liked to paint indoors. In all his life only a handful of landscapes by him are known. What he painted, again and again, were people.
Here the boy's face is long, his neck is long, his eyes are almond shapes. Behind him, soft blue.
In 1918 Modigliani was very ill, though he hid it. He had had tuberculosis since he was a teenager.
This painting belonged to Jacques and Natasha Gelman, whose great collection of modern art was given to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1998.
Look at the stripes, and then at the boy's quiet face.

Questions
Is this the original painting?
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
Will the colour look flat?
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Will the edges be cropped?
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Which size is right for my wall?
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
How long does it take?
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
