Brian Jones in a pin striped suit and Anita Pallenberg in a striped minidress pose back-to-back. Terry Southern recalls when this image was taken in The Early Stones (Hyperion, 1992), saying, "I recall the circumstanes of this photograph, which is one of his very first pictures of them. It was at Robert's and they were gambolling about the place, as young lovers are wont, and Michael blazing away with his Nikon, when they came to a momentary stop in the middle of the room; and Robert, lolling in his big Eames, rasied his head with a mischievous twinkle and said, "well now, Brian, you must let the girl know how you truly feel about her!" whereupon Brian, with typical randy cheekiness, had gingerly tickled the palm of her hand with the tip of his finger--resulting in probably the best, most characteristically animated photograph ever taken on the legendary Anita Pallenberg."
