Colorized Portrait of a Boy by Wilhelm von Gloedon

This portrait was first thought to be a woman, but turns out to be a beautiful Sicilian boy dressed like one and captured by the famous gay photographer Baron Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856 - 1931) at around the turn of the 20th century.  This was among my first colorization efforts, straightforward without engaging in creative liberties like changing the background which I could do later when revisiting my old works. As I am always on the lookout for vintage photos in the Public Domain, the works of von Gloeden with a large number of relatively high resolution prints have become a source. Never mind if his subject was mostly homoerotic.
