Silent movie star


This guy looks like a silent movie star, and did they spill some of the model's oil on the floor?

  1. That cannot be but a take on Auguste Rodin's Le Penseur. Penny for them, Monsieur!

    1. Somehow, we never get tired of looking at it. Rodin was a genius.

  2. I rather like the Thinker take, using a mature oiled man.

    1. I wonder if they used the same oil on his hair?

    2. LOL...could be.. I wonder if this was done as a commissioned portrait for the model?

    3. Possibly. He looks a bit like a cleaned up version of Larry Fine from the Three Stooges. Maybe is was a still for his early career audition portfolio.
