The Shah of Persia and Soraya with the crew of his Yacht Chashvar. Nice 1957.
On a sunlit quay in Nice, the Shah of Persia shakes hands with a naval officer from his yacht, the *Chashvar*. To the left, uniformed crew members stand at attention, saluting crisply. To the right, Empress Soraya, elegantly dressed in a suit and hat, walks along the dock after disembarking. The formal scene, captured in 1957, is backlit by a low sun that casts long, dramatic shadows across the foreground.
