Edith Piaf and her young American painter friend arrive for the "Bal des Petits Lits Blancs" at Monte Carlo, a charity Gala Evening where Piaf was to sing. Monte Carlo 1959.

Arriving for the “Bal des Petits Lits Blancs,” where she was to sing, Edith Piaf ascends a staircase with her young American painter friend. The singer, in a dark, long-sleeved dress, has an animated, open-mouthed expression as her companion leans in, pointing his finger mid-conversation. A few steps behind them, another man in formal attire follows, a cigarette holder in his mouth and a pair of shoes in his hand. Monte Carlo, 1959.
