- Description:
- Aubry, a thin, pretty, white, Frenchwoman leaping toward the camera on the beach. She is dressed in a light tie bikini, and has a big smile on her face, her hair flowing up behind her. She has her arms out wide and her left leg thrown back, her back still arched in landing. The horizon is low behind her and the sky is clear; she makes almost a star shape in the middle of the image.
- Notes:
- Gelatin silver portrait of the actress. The Herbert F. Johnson Museum holds two other portraits of Aubry by Halsman, and over one hundred other portraits by Halsman.
