Modigliani greatly admired the works of Cézanne and this portrait reproduces the pose of certain drinkers and smokers painted by the latter. Modigliani focuses here on the relationships between the figure and its environment. The young man is seated, pensive, his head resting on one hand. The chair and table appear to merge with his body and relieve its heaviness.
Notebook 10×16 cm, 56 pages, lined pages.
Printed in France, on fine arts paper.
