Two portraits of Beatrice Hastings as 'Madam Pompadour' (1915, oil on canvas, one of the best known, The Art Institute of Chicago, USA, Joseph Winterbotham Collection) and 'Portrait of Beatrice Hastings before a Door' (1915 oil on canvas, private collection), made by the bohemian artist Amedeo Modigliani. Between 1914-1916 Beatrice Hastings (a pen-name of Emily Alice Haigh, British poet, writer, literary critic and feminist (1879-1943)), a very pompous and haughty woman, was the Paris correspondent of the English periodical New Age, with a column for ‘Impressions de Paris’ and Modigliani’s chief muse, model and mistress.
