(It was a very frustrating search; there are several other poses from this sitting, but none of the examples I found were of sufficient size/quality to include.)

"Beyond the Rocks" is an American silent film directed by Sam Wood, starring Rudolph Valentino and Gloria Swanson. Released in 1922, it was based on the 1906 novel of the same name by Elinor Glyn. It was long considered to be a lost film - save for a one-minute fragment - but in 2003 a nitrate print of the film was discovered in the Netherlands, found among about two thousand rusting film canisters willed to the Nederlands Filmmuseum by an eccentric Dutch collector, Joop van Liempd of Haarlem. The film was restored by the Filmmuseum and the Haghefilm Conservation and given its first modern screening in 2005. It was released on DVD the following year.
