This twofer is unusual in two regards. First, one guy is nude, and the other has a loincloth. Second, both of them (but particularly the fellow at left) have developed their muscles in a much more modern style than one usually sees around 1900. Otto Arco is at left, and I think the other model is Brancaccio, shown nude earlier in this series. Also, note the coal heater at right.
Indeed the guy on the left is showing a far less 'bulky' waist than was the fashion till the 1930s or so .
