What perfection! I present a minor deviation from our usual full-body academic or Arcadian nudes, to include this wonderful portrait of Pasqualino by von Gloeden - his images concentrating on the captivating faces of his subjects are a little neglected in favour of those more revealing examples, but are such striking and memorable images I am sure you shall enjoy them as much as I. With his noble profile, gorgeous eyes, and garland of rather crumpled pale roses, this young man has to be one of the most lovely amongst them. -- source link
