Curatorial description (Accessed: 16 October 2017)
Man Ray gambled that every woman would like to imagine herself as willowy and lissome as the model in his picture. Even so, it is understandable that another frame from the sitting, which better showed the dress, was chosen to advertise the new line of Augusta Bernard.
