On a sun-drenched roadside in Cannes, 1953, Jimmy Donahue, an heir to the Woolworth estate, walks towards the viewer. To his right stands Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, beside the Windsor’s pug. Although openly gay, Donahue would later claim a four-year affair with the Duchess. Parked along the road, casting strong shadows, are several vintage cars, including a Citroën Traction Avant, a Peugeot, and a dark convertible with its top down. A rough stone retaining wall lines the hillside.
