The photograph titled “Woman with Roses (Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn)” was captured by artist Irving Penn in Paris, 1950. It depicts a woman in an elegant, form-fitting black dress, posed in profile against a textured background. She gazes over her shoulder with a slight smile, her posture poised and graceful. The woman holds a bouquet of roses in her hand, cradled against her waist, adding a soft, romantic element to the composition. The contrast between the smooth lines of her dress and her skin against the rough texture of the backdrop creates a striking visual dynamic. The lighting accentuates her features and the contours of the dress, highlighting the sophisticated style and timeless elegance captured by Penn in this image.
