La Belle Otéro, the celebrated dancer and “demie-mondaine” of the Belle Epoque, is photographed on the balcony of her small flat in Nice, 1954. Having lost her fortune at the Monte Carlo Casino, she lived her later years in modest circumstances. In this candid portrait, her head is tilted back in a wide, open-mouthed laugh, her eyes crinkled with happiness. She wears drop earrings, a patterned robe, and a silky scarf tied around her neck, her hands clasped together in a moment of pure joy.
