<a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Crupi" class="mw-redirect" title="Giovanni Crupi">Giovanni Crupi</a> (1849-1925), Two male nudes from behind. Catalogue # 132. Cm 16,5 x 11,5. The book that published this image remarks it comes from the "Crupi archive", however, the influence (if not an outright authorship) from Crupi's close friend <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_von_Gloeden" title="Wilhelm von Gloeden">Wilhelm von Gloeden</a> is evident here. This same image appears again in Gloeden's catalogue at number 0043, stamped: "Deponirt 2 Janv. 1902". A print auctioned at Galerie Bassenge, bore on the reverse the inscription: <i>"Turi serpente" e un amico</i> ("Salvatore "the snake" and a friend of his").
