Leopold Zborowski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leopold Zborowski was a Polish poet and art dealer from the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Zborowski and his wife Anna (Hanka Zborowska) were contemporaries with Parisian artists such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Cézanne, André Derain and Amedeo Modigliani, who painted their portraits.
Zborowski was Modigliani's primary dealer and confidant during the artist's final years. There are three portraits of him by Modigliani. One of those, a 17 3/4" by 10 3/4" portrait sold for $1,464,000 at Sotheby's in 2003.
