Sidney Bechet and Mistinguett, at Sidney's wedding with Elizabeth Ziegler in Antibes 1951.

At his 1951 wedding to Elizabeth Ziegler in Antibes, Sidney Bechet shares a joyful dance with Mistinguett. In this low-angle photograph, Mistinguett’s head is tilted back in an exuberant laugh, her face framed by a wide-brimmed hat. Bechet, a flower pinned to his lapel, gazes at his dance partner with a warm, affectionate smile as he holds her hand high. The pair are captured in spontaneous motion under a temporary reed canopy that creates a pattern of light and shadow.
