Josephine Baker behind the scenes at a summer gala at Sporting d'Eté, Monte Carlo 1961.
Josephine Baker smiles joyfully behind the scenes at a summer gala at Monte Carlo's Sporting d'Eté in 1961. Dressed in a highly decorative costume, she wears a bolero covered in intricate, glittering beadwork and a cascade of beaded fringe. Her elaborate updo is crowned with a large, sparkling headpiece and a crescent-shaped ornament, complemented by ornate, sunburst-like dangling earrings. The performer poses confidently, one hand on her hip, against a simple curtained backdrop.
