Portrait of L?opold Zborowski
Object description:
L?opold Zborowski, a young Polish poet living in Paris, earned a living by dealing in books, prints, and paintings. He met Modigliani in 1916 and became his dealer soon after. In this first of the artist�s six portraits of Zborowski, the dealer is seen with folded arms, displaying great self-assurance. The tilt of his head and his light blue eyes without pupils � a Modigliani hallmark � create the impression of a spiritual man absorbed in thought.
