Head of Orpheus

 * Reason:The picture has beautiful contrast, exposure, and color balance—credit, of course, is due to the painter's haunting original. 1,313 × 2,069 px. It is by far the best example of this piece of art (see also the bigger but blurry and desaturated File:Gustave Moreau 007.jpg, the smaller and wildly contrasty File:Gustave Moreau Orphée 1865.jpg, and the much smaller and wildly contrasty File:GustaveMoreau01.jpg) and the most captivating portrait of Orpheus available.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Orpheus, Gustave Moreau, Decapitation
 * Creator:Gustave Moreau / The Man in Question (uploader)
