Two figures, one leaning slightly into the other, caught in the amber hush of Modigliani's palette. Their features, elongated and pared down, tell a love story not of fireworks but of long glances and quiet knowing. Jacques stands like a sentinel; Berthe softens the space beside him. This portrait holds meaning for anniversaries, enduring partnerships, and the rare beauty of lives truly intertwined. It speaks to those who've built a life not by spectacle but by steady grace.
