Pin-up Greta Thysegen. Cannes 1951. “Miss Copenhagen” (also Thyssen , Thygesen, Thyssegen).
Greta Thysegen, the pin-up known as ‘Miss Copenhagen’, tilts her head back in laughter in this radiant, low-angle portrait from Cannes, 1951. Her face, angled toward the light, is framed by a very large, wide-brimmed straw hat. Bright, direct lighting creates a dramatic, classic feel with strong highlights and deep shadows, accentuating her glamorous, full curls, defined eyebrows, and bold lipstick. A delicate chain necklace with a small pendant is visible around her neck.
