Has the Mystery of the Portrait of Maud Abrantes Been Solved? (2 of 2) — Caption

Portrait of Maud Abrantes and Nude with a Hat. Amedeo Modigliani painted the Portrait of Maud Abrantes in 1908, on the back of a canvas on which he had already painted Nude with a Hat. But for some reason, he did not only turn the canvas over for the new painting, but also turned it upside down. Ofra Rimon, Director and Curator of the Hecht Museum at the University of Haifa: "There was another woman there."
