Léopold-Émile REUTLINGER (French, Callao 1863 - 1937 Paris)Description
Paper photograph of a Parisian model of Maison Lambard, destined for a German magazine, with a printed on tracing paper explanatory text in German. The photograph shows a young woman dressed in a delicate linen flowing dress, in a fairy-like style, the ivory-colored tone of which is emphasized by darker tinted Irish lace inserts. The incrustation stretches over the wide flounce to above knee height. At the top, a small bolero made of the same lace forms a separation, two strings of pearls and a coral choker are combined with two brooches - one on the collar with stones, and the other rectangular in openwork metal in the middle of the chest. Sleeves with Irish lace insert and border, from which a full long puff of white silk chiffon falls to be caught again at the wrist in a tight lace cuff with its fluttering width. Tea-roses are lying seductively on the black straw hat lined with ivory-colored velvet, and a feather boa completes the look.Materials
