Madam Pompadour

Madame Pompadour is an oil painting on canvas of 61 × 50 cm made in 1915 by the Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani.

It is kept at the Art Institute of Chicago.

This portrait is inspired by Beatrice Hastings with whom Modigliani has a romantic relationship. It was exhibited for the first time in 1916 during the exhibition organized by the painters Moïse Kisling and Manuel Ortiz de Zárate in the studio of Émile Lejeune. The nickname "Madame Pompadour" was given to her because Beatrice Hastings often wore large hats.
