Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, and Woolworth heir Jimmy Donahue walk the Windsor's pug on a sunlit road in Cannes, 1953. The Duchess, in a sleeveless top and patterned skirt, holds the leash while Donahue follows in a short-sleeved collared shirt and trousers. Several vintage cars, including a Citroën Traction Avant, are parked along the road, which is bordered by a low stone wall with dense foliage rising behind it. Strong shadows on the ground indicate a bright, midday sun.
