Dorian Leigh by Henry Clarke for French Vogue, 1955
"Posing Leigh against the background of a Courbet painting of two naked figures locked in a passionate embrace, Clarke made a picture of an angular elegant woman exuding both disdain & intense sexuality."

You have to look closely to pick out Leigh in the background. Penn could've used a spotlight here, I think.

Dorian Leigh had so many moods & styles. Mysterious, sexy, elegant, self-possessed, direct.
Cecil Beaton doubles down by often including a mirror in his shots of Leigh.
