Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia. Carlton Hotel. Cannes 1954.
Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia stands silhouetted in a doorway at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes, 1954. Seen in profile with his arms crossed in a pensive pose, he gazes from the deep shadow of his room onto a sun-drenched balcony. The strong contrast between the dark foreground and the bright sea beyond the stone balustrade creates a dramatic, contemplative mood, partially illuminating his face and casting his shadow on an adjacent glass pane.
