Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, and Woolworth heir Jimmy Donahue disembark from the yacht Olnico in the bustling marina of Cannes, 1951. The Duchess, dressed in a light-colored suit and high heels, holds a railing for balance while Donahue, in a short-sleeved shirt, carefully crosses the deck with a large woven basket. Though openly gay, Donahue later claimed to have had a four-year affair with the Duchess. The background is a dense pattern of sailboat masts and rigging against an overcast sky.
