Diego Rivera by Amedeo Modigliani, 1915

Look closely at the bottom of this sketch and you'll spot the signature of Amedeo Modigliani, capturing his fellow artist Diego Rivera in a moment of quiet reflection. Created in 1915, this loose, gestural drawing shows Rivera holding a pipe, rendered with the swift, confident strokes that Modigliani was famous for. It's a fascinating glimpse into the bohemian life of early 20th-century Paris, where a few quick lines could capture an entire personality. The scribbled "DIEGO" at the top left serves as a casual label for this intimate portrait of two artistic giants crossing paths.
