Amedeo Modigliani
Gaston Modot
From $100
This portrait is mustard yellow against soft grey-blue and red, and a cheap copy turns the yellow brown. Our Modigliani Jeanne Hébuterne print was graded from a high-resolution master so the yellow stays warm and her face stays pale.
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
12x18 inch, 16x24 inch, 20x30 inch, 24x36 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 bedroom, a hallway or a reading corner. The yellows look warm with cream, terracotta and walnut, and a natural or dark wood frame suits it.
About the painting
Jeanne Hébuterne in Yellow Sweater by Amedeo Modigliani
Paris and Nice, 1917–1919
Jeanne Hébuterne was a nineteen-year-old art student when she met Amedeo Modigliani in the spring of 1917, introduced by the sculptor Chana Orloff. Her Catholic parents opposed it, but she moved in with him that summer.
The yellow sweater
He painted her in more than twenty pictures and never as a nude. Here she sits with her hands in her lap in a mustard sweater, her neck long, her eyes pale and empty ovals, the way he painted the people he loved most.
A daughter
In 1918 they went south to Nice, where their daughter Jeanne was born that November. Friends remembered Jeanne as gentle and shy. The painting belongs to the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
Read the story
A young woman sits with her hands in her lap, in a mustard-yellow sweater. Her neck is long, her face is a pale oval, and her eyes are empty, pale blue.
Her name was Jeanne Hébuterne. In the spring of 1917 she was nineteen, an art student at the Académie Colarossi in Paris, when the sculptor Chana Orloff introduced her to Amedeo Modigliani.
Her parents were strict Catholics, and they were horrified. That summer she moved in with him anyway.
Friends remembered her as gentle, shy and quiet. Because of her pale skin and red-brown hair, they called her Coconut.
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.
In Nice, on the twenty-ninth of November 1918, their daughter was born. They called her Jeanne, too.
Modigliani painted Jeanne in more than twenty pictures, and never once as a nude.
This portrait belongs to the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
Look at the yellow sweater, and then at her long, 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.
