Standing nude with lilies. Ca. 1910. Albumen print. 20,8 x 12,2 cm. Photographer’s “Proprietà Artistica: Vincenzo Galdi, Via Sardegna, 55, Roma” studio stamp in purple ink on the verso.

This elegant figure study shows a young woman standing nude and seen from behind, her form softly illuminated as she raises a stem of lilies. The composition exemplifies Galdi’s refined approach to the academic nude, combining classical motifs with a quiet eroticism. Active in Rome during the early 20th century, Galdi worked on the margins of academic respectability and is now recognized for his bold, sensuous style and for challenging the visual conventions of his time. – Minimal buckling along right edge, a few light handling marks, a few minimal spots in the negative, otherwise in good condition with strong tonal range.
