Modigliani meets Max Jacob in 1906. They continue to go to Montmartre, then to Montparnasse. In 1914 and 1915, the Italian draws several portraits of his friend and paints two masterful works. This drawing, which portrays the poet as a bit of a “snob and a man about town”, is a study for the painted portrait kept at the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westphalen in Düsseldorf.
