Jacques And Berthe Lipchitz

Modigliani painted this double portrait of sculptor Jacques Lipchitz and his wife Berthe, reportedly as a wedding gift in 1916. The couple showcases the artist's famous aesthetic: elongated faces, almond-shaped eyes, and long, elegant necks that look almost like stylized masks. Jacques stands stiffly in a brown suit, looming protectively over the serene, seated Berthe. Modigliani even tagged the wall with 'LIPCHITZ' in the background, adding a touch of modern street-art attitude to a classic portrait.
