The verso of the stretcher retains a partially visible label from the Valentine Gallery, where the picture was shown in 1931 and 1936, and another referencing Paul Guillaumes collection, which suggests that if the canvas was restretched, this occurred before 1936.53 While stretchers as distinct from strainers appear to be rare in Modiglianis oeuvre, other examples, such as Jeanne Hbuterne 1919 (C326) in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, may represent the use of original stretchers.54 An X-radiograph of Elvira Resting at a Table (fig.9) indicates the possibility of alternate tacking sites in the tacking margins, but these are few in number and do not provide definitive evidence that the painting was restretched
