More feathers & intense gazes: another Denise Colomb shot of two great surrealist artists, Leonor Fini & Leonora Carrington, from 1952. Is that a Fini painting behind them?

The two pose in front of a painting, almost completely covered in feathered headdresses.

Portrait de Léonor Fini 📷 Dora Maar, c. 1934 Maar was such a fine portrait photographer. Without masks and feathers, we see here, perhaps, the real Fini.
