Lili Damita was photographed at Studio Menasse Foto Salon in Vienna in 1930. Lili, a celebrated French actress, is best known for her marriage to screen actor and Hollywood hunk Errol Flynn. She was captured in this bohemian, yet elegant photo shortly before her screen career ended and she became a mom. It was wildly popular for well travelled women to be artistically photographed nude or in this case, nearly nude. Her lovely geometrically patterned assiut shawl features the strong linear forms popular during the art deco era.
