Margot Fonteyn and dancer Michael Somes, leaving Onassis' yacht Christina. Monte Carlo 1956.

Ballerina Margot Fonteyn smiles broadly as she disembarks from Aristotle Onassis's yacht, the *Christina*, in Monte Carlo, 1956. She wears a voluminous dark coat with a dramatic stand-up collar and long white gloves. Fellow dancer Michael Somes, dressed in a tuxedo, walks slightly behind her on the vessel's wooden deck at night. To the right, a white, vintage-style telephone sits on a dark piece of furniture.
