Jeanne Hebuterne

Jeanne Hebuterne was a French artist and model, known as the frequent subject and common-law wife of Amedeo Modigliani. She was born on 6 April 1898 in France and was of Caucasian ethnicity. Her life was tragically short: she died on 25 January 1920 at age 21, just two days after Modigliani's death. At the time, she was eight months pregnant with their second child. Her family brought her to their home, but she threw herself from a fifth-floor apartment window, killing herself and her unborn son. She identified as straight, and her work as a painter remains part of her legacy.
