Centennial Ball, Metropolitan Museum, New York
1969

A black and white photograph capturing a lively party scene with multiple people dancing and socializing. In the foreground, a couple is seated, with the woman wearing a feather boa and smiling broadly as she embraces a man in a suit. In the background, other guests are engaged in conversation or dancing, with some individuals blurred in motion, suggesting the energy of the event. The attire suggests a formal occasion, possibly from a past decade given the hairstyles and fashion.
