Description
Photograph of the painting "Primroses" by Edward Bisson, depicting a young woman dancing in a translucent dress, [s.d.]. The woman is shown at center, her dress hanging down around her bare breasts, a flower pendant hanging between them as a clasp. She holds her right arm raised above her head, dropping rose blossoms from it down her side, which is outlined by her long, dark hair. She holds the other arm out to her side, gently lifting the remainder of the dress' diaphanous material into a graceful arc. Her feet are bare. Her head is loosely wrapped in a hat of material similar to the dress.
