Christiane Govy. Ballet dancer of Nice Opera. Nice 1951. Contact prints. Photos from original negatives available.
This 1951 contact sheet presents Christiane Govy, a ballerina with the Nice Opera, performing her "daily dozen" on a sunlit, rocky coastline. Across twelve black-and-white frames, Govy, in a two-piece bikini, strikes a series of graceful and athletic poses. Her movements blend elegant ballet forms—including an arabesque and standing en pointe on the uneven stone—with the glamour of mid-century pin-up style. The original typewritten caption is visible at the top of the vintage album page.
This photo is also available as a vintage print in the following size:
