Portrait by Irving Penn. Reasons as to why i chose this particular image is because its very Charlie Chaplin like whether or not this is actualy suposed to be a photographic portrait of him i'm not sure, things that make me believe this is based on or is charlie chaplin,would be the well known eyeliner/facepaint and moustache that is so very iconic. I think the overall dress sense of this character is indeed very chaplin like. However, in most of his images/movies, chaplin is known to be this happy high spirited man, whereas in this particular picture, the character appears thoughtful and almost sad, almost like he's grown old.
Also the idea of him holding a white rose is very symbolic in itself, meaning -purity, innocence,spirituality and sympathy, as well as remembrance, honor and revarance.
