"Two Studies of Sicilian Boys" is a photographic work by Wilhelm von Gloeden, a German photographer known for his pastoral nude studies of Sicilian boys and men. Born Wilhelm, Freiherr (Baron) von Gloeden (1856–1931), he became famous for his work in Taormina, Sicily, where he settled in 1878 due to health reasons and began his photographic career.

Von Gloeden's work is characterized by its classical and Arcadian themes, often drawing inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman mythology and art. "Two Studies of Sicilian Boys" is emblematic of his style, which typically featured the young male residents of Taormina posed in idyllic and natural settings, sometimes adorned with props such as wreaths or amphorae to enhance the classical aesthetic. The photographs are notable for their technical proficiency, use of natural light, and the relaxed and natural demeanor of the subjects, which was unusual for the period's often rigid photographic portraiture.

The work of von Gloeden has been both celebrated for its artistic beauty and historical value, and critiqued for its colonial gaze and the ethical implications of its production, considering the age and socioeconomic status of the subjects. "Two Studies of Sicilian Boys" contributes to the complex legacy of von Gloeden, whose photographs are held in various collections and have been the subject of exhibitions and scholarly analysis.

As a pioneer in the field of photography, von Gloeden's influence extended beyond his own work, impacting the realms of art, sexuality, and the perception of the male form in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. "Two Studies of Sicilian Boys" remains a significant piece within von Gloeden's oeuvre, reflecting the intersection of art, photography, and cultural attitudes of its time.
