This image is a sepia photograph of Valentino in 1922, in a sleek profile, gazing intently towards the right side of the frame while holding a cigarette close to his lips. The smoke from the cigarette rises in a delicate wisp, adding a sense of movement to the image. The lighting creates a stark contrast, highlighting the contours of his face and hand, and casting a soft glow on his features. His expression is pensive and introspective, contributing to the overall moody and contemplative atmosphere of the photograph. ( 16" x 20" )
