Alice, 1915-1919 (oil on canvas) by Modigliani, Amedeo (1884-1920); 78.5x39 cm; Alice, the title, placed on top in block letters, was given by the artist himself as per his own custom. According to the testimonies of Jean Cocteau and Andrè Salmon, the young Alice portrayed here was the lover of the writer and poet Raymond Radiguet - also portrayed by Amedeo - when the boy was just fourteen. She, ten years older, inspired him the figure of the protagonist of the novel “Le diable au corps” (the devil in the body) of 1921 in which Radiguet tells the relationship between a young man and a married woman older than him.
