Pierluigi Praturlon - Britt Ekland

This is an interesting large vintage photograph, 29.5 x 23.8 cm, of the beautiful and famous Swedish actress Britt Ekland, an image dating from 1966, in the garden of a handsome villa in Rome, which, together with Peter Sellers, had rented the villa in view of the filming of Vittorio De Sica's film 'Caccia alla volpe' (After the Fox).

The photograph is by Pierluigi Praturlon, known to all as “Pierluigi,” who was perhaps the most famous among Italian photographers of the Dolce Vita, especially for portraits, even off the set, and for photos taken during the productions of various films; indeed, in this, he was among the best in the world. The shot took place in Rome, at the Cinecittà studios, certainly during the “dead times” of filming the well-known film 'Il magnifico Bobo', released in the same year, starring Peter Sellers and, as noted, Britt Ekland, who was his wife at the time.

This is a true vintage photograph, properly stamped on the back by Pierluigi himself, also bearing a contemporaneous Pix Inc. sticker, and the stamp of the famous agency Rapho-Guillumette, of Charles Rado and Paul Guillumette.

Good overall condition, slight creases in the lower part.
