On a sun-drenched, tree-lined road in Cannes, Woolworth heir Jimmy Donahue walks in a short-sleeved shirt and trousers. Nearby, Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, stands beside a parked convertible with the Windsors' pug at her feet. A line of vintage cars, including a Citroën Traction Avant and a Peugeot, is parked along the road, which is bordered by a stone retaining wall. The 1953 scene is partially framed by the dark silhouette of a car in the foreground.
