VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage illustration depicts two stylish women in a leisurely setting, reminiscent of the 1930s fashion and lifestyle. The woman on the left stands confidently with her hand on her hip, wearing a halter-neck swimsuit with a diamond pattern and high-waisted shorts. Her companion sits casually on a tall bar stool, sporting a blue bandeau-style top paired with matching shorts, accessorized by an elegant necklace and bracelets. They both wear fashionable open-toed sandals coordinating with their outfits. A small dog is attentively looking up at them while standing between the two ladies. On the counter lies an orange hat next to a cocktail glass filled with what appears to be an amber-colored drink. The background features large letters spelling out "LA VIE PARISIENNE, " suggesting that this scene could be depicting Parisian life or is perhaps from the cover of La Vie Parisienne magazine—a French weekly known for its illustrations of the period's lifestyle and fashions. Below it reads "75e Année - N° 35 Prix: 3 fr. " indicating it's from the publication's 75th year, issue number 35, priced at three francs; followed by "Samedi 28 Août 1937" which dates this particular edition to Saturday, August 28th, 1937. Atop some balloons floating in the background is text reading “QUELLE TENUE !” which translates from French as "What an outfit!" This phrase might suggest admiration or surprise regarding their modern attire for that era. The overall mood conveys elegance mixed with casual relaxation during what seems like a warm summer day.
