Man of La Ruche ("The Beehive")

Today's 20-min. effort is from a photo of a man whom my high school friend, Jan, knows.  (I was visiting her at her studio in the famous rabbit-warren of artist studios known as La Ruche--it's in Paris.)  He had popped his head out the window to talk her, but they were speaking French so quickly I didn't understand a word. But it was picturesque!  I found out after my visit that Soutine had a cell in that honeycomb of artist's studios, back in the day (1917-ish).  Modigliani too, I believe.  What a "colorful" place it was (and is)!!
