Frank Burty Haviland is a 1915 graphite by Amedeo Modigliani, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quick, loose drawing of a person’s back and head, done in simple pencil lines. The lines are shaky and flowing, like the artist was working fast. There’s also a long, straight line on the left side—maybe a column or a tree—and some messy scribbles that look like notes. The drawing feels unfinished, almost like a practice sketch. The artist wrote some letters and numbers near the lines, which might be measurements or just random jotting. If you like this style, look up Modigliani, Amedeo.
Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (US: ; Italian: ; 12 July 1884 – 24 January 1920) was an Italian painter and sculptor of the École de Paris who worked mainly in France.
