Dark hair and blue eyes makes for an alluring combination on an attractive woman. One of the great screen sirens of cinematic history, Elizabeth Taylor, is a singular example of the legendary beauties blessed with this comely combination and it certainly did nothing to hamper her success.

Dark-haired, blue-eyed Aprilia A. uses these two pleasing physical assets — along with several others — to potent effect in this MetArt erotic photo gallery. It may not be to every viewer’s liking, but if you find the look attractive, you will find much to enjoy here.

Obviously, the hair and eyes receive the most attention in dedicated headshots, and Koenart includes a selection of pleasing portraits in his photo series. Early on, before she disrobes, in #004 he captures Aprilia A. in a somewhat moody shot and the eyes contribute much to that image.

If I must find fault with “Idéale” it is that the photographer is prone to tilting the camera to, perhaps, add some extra interest to certain shots. Sometimes, to his credit, it’s effective. In other shots, #016 for example, it adds an almost queasy element to the shot — it would be, in my opinion, a more effective composition if the vertical elements were, indeed, vertical.

There are many explicit images here, and the subject certainly warrants the attention. The set hits a prolonged series of high notes in a cluster of shots in which the model’s back faces the camera, spanning numbers 063 through 071. Here Aprilia A. is totally nude and positioned on the hardwood floor. #063 is a simple figure study, with a pleasing emphasis on her feet — note the delicate toe ring. This sequence of shots quickly heats up, however, and reaches a peak of erotic artistry in #070. On her knees, head resting on the floor, the flared fingers of one hand gripping her ass, and those blue eyes regarding the camera with a subtle but unmistakable sensuality.

After so many powerfully erotic images it’s refreshing that the set closes with several pictures of Aprilia A., in casual dress, out in the street — it’s a sweet way of winding down from the intensity of the collection.

(PS: Does anyone else find that ring on her left hand unsettling?)
