Mag men het zien?
Amsterdam, Nederland
De eigenaar is bekend. Of het vandaag te zien is, zegt het museum niet, en gissen hebben wij niet geleerd.
Pornographic photography was strictly prosecuted in the 19th century. One way of lending a photograph of a nude some standing, and thus make it acceptable, was to have the model assume a pose derived from classical sculpture. The pose in this photograph seems loosely based on the famous Dying Gaul.
