VISUAL DESCRIPTION
In this illustration from "La Vie Parisienne," dated October 20, 1917, we witness an intriguing blend of chivalry-themed romanticism with modern femininity. The subject is styled as 'The Godmother' (La Marraine) of a knight; she gazes directly at us through eyes shaded by an oversized white bonnet reminiscent of medieval helmets yet softened by its fashionable design. Clad in luxurious fur-trimmed garments against a backdrop hinting at ancient castles or fortresses reinforces themes linking past valor with contemporary sophistication.
