La Belle Otéro, a dancer, singer and a "demie-mondaine" of "La Belle Epoque". Unfortunately she lost her fortune at the Monte Carlo Casino, and during the fifties she lived in a very small flat in Nice, surrounded by her souvenirs. Her only distraction was to feed the pigeons on her balcony. Nice 1954.
La Belle Otéro, the celebrated dancer and "demie-mondaine" of the Belle Epoque, sits in her small Nice flat in 1954. With a warm smile, she wears a patterned dress and a large satin bow, her hands clasped in her lap. The floral wallpaper behind her is covered with a dense collage of photographs—cherished souvenirs from a glamorous life. After losing her fortune at the Monte Carlo Casino, she lived modestly, surrounded by these memories, her only distraction being to feed the pigeons on her balcony.
