Weekends he played the role of an affable pè re de famille in a three-piece suit and spats, having fun with a much fussed over child and a very large dog’ ( op. This female nude has a certain modest and intimate character, which gives it some emotional contention in counterpoint. Like Matisse’s marvelous Odalisques, Modigliani’s Femme Nue Couchée, in this sale, is distant from the Realist project but, by drawing ultimately on the Venetian Renaissance, they share a source with the Courbet, and with Freud’s picture of his daughter Bella naked on a couch (also offered in this sale).

One of the artist’s greatest muses, Marie-Thérèse’s presence in Picasso’s life aroused an unprecedented creative explosion; her vitality and voluptuous forms unleashing an ecstatic rebirth in every area of his artistic production.Together with the rest of Hatvany's collection, the painting was looted from a Budapest bank vault during the 1945 Soviet conquest of the city in World War II.
