This Russell Ball portrait is very similar to the cover of Natacha's book where Rudy is facing slightly more forward. THAT one is just as pretty as this...if not prettier!
Caroline, you are right. I picked this for just that reason. I do not have the portrait Natacha used on the DJ for her 1926 book. I do love this portrait from the same series.
Thanks, Donna. This one is quite nice. And we can only hope that a copy of Natacha's cover photo (it was reportedly one of her personal favorites) turns up one of these days!
