Monsieur X - nude study

Original gelatin silver print by mysterious French photographer Monsieur X. Similar prints by Monsieur X were already auctioned on Sotheby's with great results!
Who is Monsieur X: He was a French amateur photographer who made erotic photos of women in 1930s Paris and wanted to remain anonymous. He died around 1980. When growing old he left his photographic collection to a bookseller. Typically there are annotations in pencil with letters and numbers on the reverse of each photograph, a code undoubtedly for classification, yet still being unsolved. Mr X assured that he threw his negatives into the Seine, making any reproduction impossible.
Each print is unique, so far no doubles have been found.
