Renee Perle was a Romanian-born model living in Paris in the early 1930's. Her lover was the famous French photographer Jacques-Henri Lartigue who was so enchanted with her beauty and timeless sense of style that he devoted 2 years to compile a series of photographic work that is sought after by collectors to this day. This photo was taken in Biarritz in 1930 and demonstrates not only Lartigue’s ability to capture the essence and natural beauty of his subject, but shows that Renee had a sense of style and individuality that has transcended time and fashion.
