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 dances with the celebrated French performer Mistinguett. The dynamic scene is captured from an extremely low angle on a checkered dance floor set under a foliage-covered trellis. Directly beneath the couple, another photographer lies on his back to capture the moment from his unconventional viewpoint. Guests watch the celebration from surrounding tables as dappled sunlight filters through the leaves.
