Edward Steichen

Lily Pons
c. 1932

A black and white photograph of a woman in an elegant pose, viewed from behind. She is wearing a dress with a crisscross strap design on the back and is looking over her shoulder with a smile. Her hair is styled in a bob cut, and she has a necklace on. The woman is also wearing a bracelet on her right wrist and is holding a fur stole draped over her left arm. The image has a vintage quality, indicative of early to mid-20th-century photography.
