Portrait of a Woman |
On the back of the piece is an older label from ArtLore which located in New York City as a wholesale distributor of decorative art. I love how the frame and the mat color combined together - it is a vintage thick (in 2 inch) /sturdy wooden frame with my favorite green color mat!

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (July 12, 1884 – January 24, 1920) was an Italian painter and sculptor who worked mainly in France. Primarily a figurative artist, he became known for paintings and sculptures in a modern style, characterized by mask-like faces and elongation of form. He died at age 35 in Paris of tubercular meningitis, exacerbated by poverty, overwork and addiction to alcohol and narcotics.
