Beautiful Antique LF Portrait - Movie Star??

[jon koss]

I found this in a huge stack of vintage prints. I convinced myself that it might be a well known star from early in the 20th century, but before I share my opinion I would be curious if anyone has a gut reaction as to the identity of the subject.

Many thanks,
Jon

I don't who it is but I like it none the less!

Do you think this could be the same person? The eyes nose and chin look similar but with the different expression/make up I cant tell

Well, truth be told I thought it was Gloria Swanson. She had a distinctive shape to the outside corners of her mouth - almost a bit like the corners of the Joker's mouth if you know what I mean. Also she had a very fine nose. I thought this model shared both features, along with Swanson's eyebrows and eye sockets. For added spice, here is the back of the print marked Steichen.
