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.

La Belle Otéro, a celebrated dancer and singer of the Belle Epoque, is pictured in a quiet moment on her balcony in Nice, 1954. After losing her fortune, she lived a modest life in a small flat where her only distraction was feeding the pigeons. Photographed from the interior of her room, the elderly Otéro, with her hair in an updo, leans against the wrought-iron railing as a single bird perches nearby, crumbs scattered on the floor.
