Josephine Baker behind the scenes at a summer gala at Sporting d'Eté, Monte Carlo 1961.
Behind the scenes at a summer gala at Monte Carlo's Sporting d'Eté in 1961, Josephine Baker converses with a fellow performer. Dressed in a glittering, form-fitting jumpsuit and a grand headdress of white feathers, Baker has an animated expression. Her companion, shirtless in a leopard-print loincloth and an equally dramatic dark-feathered headdress, smiles up at her. The two stand on a polished floor before a pleated curtain, as a man in a tuxedo observes from a doorway in the background.
