Sita Devi, the Maharanee of Baroda—known as the "Indian Wallis Simpson"—attends the "Bal de la Mer" in Monte Carlo, 1958. Smiling warmly, she wears a lustrous silk sari with an ornate brocade border, a three-strand pearl necklace, and large drop earrings. Beside her, an unidentified companion in a light-colored strapless evening gown, accented by a large dark bow at the waist, holds a pensive expression. The Maharanee carries a decorated rectangular clutch, while her companion holds a small patterned evening bag.
