Léopold-Émile REUTLINGER (French, Callao 1863 - 1937 Paris)Description
Paper photograph of a Parisian model of French fashion house, destined for a German magazine. The photograph shows a young woman dressed in an elegant summer dress made of silk muslin entirely pleated on both the bodice and the skirt. The loose sleeves are made of fine embroidered chiffon, and the neckline is hidden under a large ruffled collar made of lace. The waistline is accentuated with a silk Medici belt with a diamond decoration in the center, and a multistrand beaded choker adorns the neck, around with a short pearl necklace. The lady is holding a small rectangular semi transparent purse with an openwork clasp and a handkerchief inside, and wearing multiple rings of different styles on her fingers. The look is completed with a flat hat, probably made of cotton muslin, with scallop contoured triangles hanging of the brim.Materials
