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

Ballerina Margot Fonteyn and dancer Michael Somes smile for the camera as they leave Aristotle Onassis’ yacht, the *Christina*, in Monte Carlo, 1956. Elegantly dressed for the evening, Fonteyn wears a dark overcoat and white gloves, while Somes is in a tuxedo. They stand on the gangway at night, illuminated by a direct flash, with the vessel’s name partially visible on the hull alongside the initials of the Yacht Club de Monaco.
