Portrait de Madame Zborowska, 1917 (oil on canvas) by Modigliani, Amedeo (1884-1920); 130.2 x 81.3 cm; Mrs. Zborowska, wife of the Modigliani art market Leopold Zborowki tells to the French writer Francis Carco that the Italian painter usually only needed a few hours to paint a medium-sized work. For the others he needed double or triple the time. The relationship that binds Modigliani to Hanka's husband is both commercial and friendly. In fact, before moving to his last studio in rue de la Grande Chaumière, the painter comes to the Zborowski house every day to paint while working in the dining room, the largest room in the house.
